Still Orbit is a color theme defined by its specific palette: mineral blues, misty neutrals, and soft amber highlights. The goal is to provide a visual environment that is quiet and surreal, minimizing harsh transitions between colors while retaining enough distinction to highlight syntax effectively.

The design of Still Orbit takes direct inspiration from Flexoki by Steph Ango, a palette known for its ink-like colors and warm paper feel. Still Orbit adapts this philosophy of low-friction readability into a cooler, misty color space.

Instead of stark blacks or bright whites, the background relies on muted, neutral tones. The mineral blues provide structural highlighting for keywords and functions, while the soft amber acts as a focal point for strings and important values. This combination creates a workspace that does not compete for the user’s attention.

The theme is built for users who prefer an interface that stays out of the way, providing just enough syntax highlighting to be useful without causing visual clutter. Furthermore, this theme was originally created to give this website a more unique and distinct visual identity, evolving from a personal design choice into a fully-fledged theme.
