I have a custom theme that's pretty minimal, because I find lots of colors distracting.

Colors are vaguely based it on pen on paper:

       white: background
   dark blue: foreground
  light gray: brackets and commas and stuff
         red: literals (strings, numbers, true/false)
       black: comments

This means comments and literals stand out, which are usually the things I don't want to miss when I'm reading through code.

Spacemacs Light and IntelliJ light default

Dark themes make my brain hurt.

kaolin-themes for emacs: https://github.com/ogdenwebb/emacs-kaolin-themes There are plenty of options, some are very similar but I've been pretty happy with 'em

Oooh, those look wonderful, I will install it and see if I like them more than doom themes :D

Noctis: https://github.com/liviuschera/noctis

Specifically, I try to match the theme variant to my lighting conditions. I had some major eye strain for a while, and doing this with this theme seemed helped.

Big fan of gruvbox dark in vim. I don't normally use dark mode in other contexts but gruvbox is warm without any loud colors. I used to use an absolutely terrible colorscheme named sakura light or something, anyone I showed my editor to would be blinded lol.
