## Philosophy
Sora sits between Tokyo Night's saturation and Lume's muted pastels. The background is near-black with a cool blue undertone, deep enough for OLED. Syntax colors are muted but readable - they don't compete with each other.
The signature ethereal cyan (`#80c8e0`) for functions is lighter and softer than Tokyo Night's blue, cooler than Lume's lavender. A single warm accent - gold (`#d4b878`) for constants and numbers - acts like a star against the cool palette. That one warm point in a field of cool tones is what gives Sora its look.
Eight named accents, each with a clear role. No neon, no Christmas tree.
