GitHub Dark

GitHub Theme copies the color themes from github.com into VS Code. You get Light Default, Light High Contrast, Light Colorblind, Dark Default, Dark High Contrast, Dark Colorblind, and Dark Dimmed. Two older themes, GitHub Light and GitHub Dark, stay in the pack for compatibility. The colors come from Primer.

Dark Default uses background #0d1117 and text #e6edf3. Comments are #8b949e. Keywords are #ff7b72. Strings are #a5d6ff. Functions are #d2a8ff. Variables are #ffa657.

Light Default uses a white background and text #1f2328. Comments are #6e7781. Keywords are #cf222e. Strings are #0a3069. Functions are #8250df. Variables are #953800.

Dark Dimmed uses the same roles on background #22272e. The high-contrast and colorblind variants change the hues so comments, keywords, and strings stay easy to separate.

tokenColors

Foregrounds this theme assigns to the token scope catalog. A rule with only a font style is skipped, and a longer matching scope wins. Italic and bold rules are not listed — the preview above shows them in the code.
