I Made a Color Scheme for Programming Using Math

Is there empirical research that corroborates the claim that a particular theme, mathematically symmetric or not, reliably improves productivity? Or are those claims directed more at the accompanying book and less about the theme itself?

## The problem<p>In 2013, my laptop was stolen, so I had to re-configure everything. At that time, there were thousands of color schemes for programming out there, but none of them were appealing to me. So I decided to create my own.<p>Fast forward to 2020, Dracula is one of the most popular themes in the world. Still, I felt that something was missing. I wanted to help with more than just a theme.<p>## My solution<p>I decided to create a new color scheme using mathematical concepts to normalize lightness and saturation. I also tested the contrast ratio for all colors to afford the best readability.<p>More than that, I built Dracula PRO to be a collection of productivity tips for developers.<p>I would love to hear your thoughts on this. And if you have any questions, please do comment

I love the Dracula theme - it&#x27;s always the first customisations I do after setting up a new computer in VSCode, Vim, and which ever terminal I&#x27;m using. So I&#x27;m keen to support your work even though I&#x27;d need to see some side by side comparisons to see how the Pro and non-pro themes look.<p>But can you explain how the licensing works with Dracula Pro? I often have more than three computers on the go, and am constantly trying out new Linux distros for a week or two before blowing away and reinstalling. How do you track the three computer limit of the licence?<p>Thanks.

&quot;available everywhere&quot;<p>I guess vim and emacs are nowhere.<p>(it does look nice though!)

I’ve been using Dracula everywhere for years and love it. I’ll buy this purely to say thanks, getting a shiny new theme is just a bonus. Fantastic work, thank you.

I know this is a paid product, but is there a plan to share the colors hex codes?
