Sometime within the last couple of years or so, I became totally burnt out (heh) on cool colors. I've started using color schemes and themes (in different apps that support them) that employ warm, earthy colors instead.
I recently found this one and one of the things I like about its theme for VS Codeht variant does as well, ensuring that all text meets WCAG AAA contrast standards.
It's rare to find a good light theme with solid contrast. Even more so to find a good one paired with a good dark one as well. I haven't been tempted to override any of the colors yet, which is saying something.
