# Rowan
**Rowan** is a color palette (17 colors) designed for IDEs, editors & code highlighters.
Simple but very efficienty palette with greyscale colors for the background and well defined colors for the texts
## Light & Dark
**Rowan** exists in two variants *Light* and *Dark*.
As you can see the *Light* and *Dark* variants of use the same color values except for the **keywords**.
The greyscale colors aren't a true gradient from one color to another, the Lightness (HSL) values are as follows:

## Palette Colors Values
Find in [this page](https://github.com/BenSouchet/rowan/blob/main/VALUES.md) a table with the exact colors codes in multiple color models (HEX, RGB, HSV, HSL, Lab).
There is also files in the [`palette/` folder](https://github.com/BenSouchet/rowan/tree/main/palette) defining the colors in HEX in multiple formats: [YAML](https://github.com/BenSouchet/rowan/tree/main/palette/yaml), [CSS](https://github.com/BenSouchet/rowan/tree/main/palette/css), [SCSS](https://github.com/BenSouchet/rowan/tree/main/palette/scss).
**Important**: if you implement the color palette in an editor, a website, a service, ... please do not modify the color codes (use the exact ones listed in [this page](https://github.com/BenSouchet/rowan/blob/main/VALUES.md)).
## Additionnal Info
If you implement this palette as a color theme somewhere, code comments should be displayed in *italics*, and keywords should be in **bold** (to easily identify them).
## Sixteen Color Palette
**Rowan** is a seventeen (17) color palette but if you need (or are restricted) to only sixteen colors, you can ignore the accent (`acc`) color or use the numbers (`nbr`) color for the Diff Inserted texts.
