# Candela Color Schemes for Sublime Text

Color schemes for Sublime Text and your terminal, tuned for long sessions and tired eyes. Low-glare backgrounds, desaturated accents, and WCAG-AA contrast throughout, with the same palette everywhere you work.

## Why Candela

- **Built for tired eyes** — low-glare backgrounds (never pure white or black) and desaturated accents that resist visual fringing.
- **Readable by design** — every syntax and UI color clears WCAG-AA contrast; primary text clears AAA.
- **One palette everywhere** — the same colors in your editor and your terminal.
- **A whole family** — light schemes for every room, plus dark companions, all from one coordinated, curated set.

After installing, choose a Candela scheme from **Preferences > Select Color Scheme**.

Candela then offers to switch the UI theme to Adaptive, which extends the palette to the
sidebar, tabs and status bar — every other UI theme keeps its own grays. Decline it and
only the editor recolors; you can turn it on later with **Candela: Color the sidebar, tabs
and status bar too** in the command palette, or by hand with `"theme": "Adaptive.sublime-theme"`.

Build your own in the browser: adjust any palette, keep the same contrast rules, export it for your editor — [candela.ink/editor](https://candela.ink/editor).
