Oh My Zsh: oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/fungoid.zsh-theme
VSCode: vscode/fungoid-vscode-theme/themes/fungoid.json

Color Selection Rationale¶

Orange (#ff7800)¶

High visibility against dark background
Warm, energetic feel
Distinct from other common terminal colors
Used for: Primary prompts, keywords, attention-grabbing elements

Green (#3cdc50)¶

Natural association with success/safety
Bright enough to stand out
Used for: Timestamps, success messages, string literals

Pink (#d966ff)¶

Complementary to green (Dracula-inspired)
Good for type differentiation
Used for: Types, classes, constructors

Cyan (#00d296)¶

Cool balance to warm orange
Git staged indicator
Used for: Accents, decorations

Purple (#a855f7)¶

Operator differentiation
Adds visual variety
Used for: Operators, special syntax

Muted Grey (#a09080)¶

Reduced eye strain for non-critical text
Better than pure grey for long sessions
Used for: Comments, paths, metadata

Testing Colors¶

Terminal Test¶

echo -e "\033[38;2;255;120;0mOrange\033[0m"
echo -e "\033[38;2;60;220;80mGreen\033[0m"
echo -e "\033[38;2;217;102;255mPink\033[0m"
echo -e "\033[38;2;0;210;150mCyan\033[0m"
echo -e "\033[38;2;168;85;247mPurple\033[0m"

echo -e "\033[38;2;255;90;90mRed\033[0m"
echo -e "\033[38;2;160;144;128mMuted Grey\033[0m"

VSCode Test¶

Open any code file and verify: - String literals → Green - Keywords (if, else, return) → Orange - Comments → Muted Grey - Types/Classes → Pink - Operators (+, -, =) → Purple

Accessibility¶

All foreground colors pass WCAG AA contrast ratio against #1e1e1e background
Orange and green provide distinct color-blind friendly differentiation
Muted grey reduces eye strain during extended coding sessions
