Principles
Minimal highlighting, just 5 classes:
- Strings
- All statically known constants (numbers, keywords, boolean, etc)
- Global definitions
- Standard language keywords (def, if, else, etc)
- Comments
Comments highlighting
Comments are clearly visible - unlike in many other syntax themes! I think if there are comments we should see and read them first.
Readability / contrast
For good readability text has contrast 6:1 and it is consistent for all colors. Contrast calculated with HCL color model. Secondary color contrast is 2.5:1

Thanks
Forked from the (inactive) Chestnut Light Atom syntax theme by Dmitry Biletskyy.
Thanks also to Ferdinand Vogler for the excellent native-ui UI theme that plays exceptionally well with this syntax theme.
