Nord for Ghostty
Nord is built from a small set of arctic blues and muted aurora colors. The #2e3440 background and #d8dee9 text keep the terminal calm, while frost blue (#81a1c1, #88c0d0) and aurora red (#bf616a) mark important output. Nord Light, Nord Wave, and Nordfox are separate built-ins from Nord.
