Description:

Elegant dark color scheme. Colors have been selected procedurally (algorithms) to balance the perceived brightness.

Last changelog:

4 years ago

1.3 Balanced saturation of dark accent colors at 80% in the HSL model, so it improves the luma balance.
1.2 Fixed assignation of colors.
1.1 Optimization of colors. Luma* balanced at 10% (background), 30% (windows), 50% (dark accent colors) and 70% (light accent colors).
1.0 Initial version.

(*) Luma is the perceived brightness, not the lightness of the HSL model.

I guess your algorithm is flawed since i can't read blue text on blue background.

Thanks for your comment.

The issue you are showing in your screenshot is a bad color assignation, so thanks for reporting. I'm gonna fix it now.

BTW, the calculations I did about colors selection are related to the luminance (Rec. ITU-R 601) and hues, nothing to do with colors assignation. (Luminance is the perceived brightness). You can see more info in the linked homepage.

Regards and have a nice day!

Yes. This formula:

Y' = 0.299 R' + 0.587 G' + 0.114 B'

(For HD monitors would be slightly different, though).

Background has luminance 10%, windows color 30%, dark accent colors 50% and light accent colors 70%. The hue of background color and windows color is 210º, and the default text color has hue 0º with 70% luminance.

Regards.
