Notes on this palette

Dracula started in 2013, after Zeno Rocha's laptop was stolen in a hostel in Spain and he rebuilt his whole setup from scratch — the palette he wrote for that fresh start went on to be ported to more than four hundred apps. It is probably the most recognizable dark theme in existence: a soft charcoal that isn't quite black, and that unmistakable trio of purple keywords, pink operators and green strings.

In an agent window it reads as friendly rather than gloomy. The background (#282a36) sits far enough from pure black that panel edges stay visible without borders, and the accent purple makes your own prompts easy to spot when you're scrolling back through a long session. If you've used Dracula in VS Code or a terminal, the muscle memory transfers instantly — strings are green here too.

Pair it with the light-leaning Alucard mood by switching your agent to light mode and picking a light theme for daytime, then coming home to this at night. It plays best with slightly heavier font weights; thin fonts lose the pink-on-charcoal contrast.
