Dark variant on #1d1f21

3 of 17 colors fall below 4.5:1 on #1d1f21: black, red, bright red.

Each color as text on this variant's background. Terminal text is small and often dim, so 4.5:1 is the bar.

Light variant

This theme has no light variant.

What the numbers mean

Terminal text is small, often dim, and read for hours, so every color is held to the 4.5:1 body-text bar. A failing color is not unusable; it is a color that some people cannot read without leaning in. Theme authors usually fix a failing dim color by moving it a little toward the foreground, as the gallery entry shows, and the field note explains why light and dark variants fail in different places.
