I love the purple color; purple is genius. Several years ago, I launched the Shades of Purple code theme; today, I’m celebrating over 3 million developers using it to write code with 15+ software.
Update 2025: Over 5M developer machines run Shades of Purple now!!
I believe software should be elegant, not just adequate. Development should be thoughtful, not just fast. Great tools should make developers more powerful, not more dependent. High agency over dependency.
And yes, Purple isn’t just a colorβyour brain literally invents purple when you see it, for many developers it represents the intersection of creativity and logic that drives great engineering.
Shades of Purple offers a hand-picked selection of bold and vibrant shades of purple that will transform your code into a visually stunning masterpiece.
With its carefully crafted color palette, this theme brings a sense of style, elegance, and whimsy to your favorite code editor, making your coding sessions a delightful journey of creativity.
Honestly, give it two weeks. It’s free.
If you need more motivation β Did you know purple is associated with creativity, wisdom, and inspiration? By choosing Shades of Purple, you’ll tap into the hidden potential of this majestic color and supercharge your coding abilities. Prepare to think outside the box, solve complex problems easily, and impress your peers with your coding prowess.
