I really like the look (generally prefer warmer themes myself), but the pitch with its unnecessary numbers and health-related claims sounds a bit snake-oil-salesman-ish. E.g. the caption “warm everywhere, blue nowhere” looks weird considering one of the colours is literally 0x90AEC0. You’ve made a nice-looking warm theme — just say so.

Using the dark version of this in IDEA, and had to tone down the keywords and TODO highlights a smidge, but otherwise a really pleasing palette out of the box. I haven't seen a theme I liked this much since Tango.

Okay, I'm keeping the editor theme, but going back to Islands Dark for the UI theme, because there are just too many problems with it, from light-mode dialog titles to dark-on-dark for at least three different UI elements. Color scheme is great, but the dark mode UI needs more attention to detail.

Looks great aesthetically and props for the author for both the theme and its homepage!

What I look for in a theme is:

    1. Being easy on the eyes.
    2. Easy distinction between different keywords etc.
    3. Good contrast.

Unfortunately, the light version of this theme succeeded in only 1. for me (I tried it in JetBrains IDEs). The background color is great, though.

The best light theme I've seen so far is Selenized for VSCodium [1] and for VS Code [2]. There's a Selenized light for JetBrains IDEs too. [3]
