#Chalkboard Colour Theme

for Sublime Text 2/3 and TextMate

Researches have revealed that green is the color that gives a calming effect for the eyes. The green color also avoids the eyes from getting fatigued.

From Reasons Why Chalkboards Are Green by Kenny Leones

General aims for this theme:

• Use colours which work together with the green background but different enough create contrast.
• Work in low light & bright light environments.
• Help reduce reflection on glass screens.
• Use colour to help readability of language syntax and construct.
• Use simlar colours accross languages for simlar language syntax.
• Limit the amount of colours used to avoid getting too busy.
• Loosely base colours on those available in real chalk.
