       Show HN: Penumbra, a perceptually optimized color palette based on
       natural light
        
       For this palette, I used recent advances in color science, which
       made perceptual design more accessible, to choose a set of colors
       (mainly for syntax highlighting) that have uniform luminance for
       less visually uneven, fluidly readable code, but at the same time
       maximally distinguishable hue and chroma. The background colors are
       based on natural (sun-)light and shade for a more pleasing look
       than equally neutral greys.  For much more detailed info, including
       the construction, check out the repository.  There's also already a
       (bare-bones) VSCode extension, linked in the repository, but it
       could admittedly use more informed distribution of colors over
       tokens, language specific highlighting and perhaps more opinionated
       use in UI elements.
