10 I love this color scheme! Every other light scheme has harsh colors, it seems like it's just inherent for other light color schemes to not understand that they can be gentle as well as being light, but this one is. It falls in the perfect place between unobtrusive and readable and it just gets out of the way of your content. Even further, it also works well with dark themes in text editors. This scheme with dark breeze in Kate is excellent.

With Lab color space migration I noticed that the contrast is maybe too low.. I'm planning to lighten the backgrounds of ~10% max. Text values and colors are ok ;)

Please give feedbacks!

Using it and loving it at the time, I've always found to be very difficult (nearly impossible) to stay away from Oxygen-cold, now for the first time I'm using a different color scheme. Thanks, keep the good work.

great color scheme, almost perfect!
but imho link color on normal background needs to be adjusted (for example, see links in dolphin's information panel, like 'add tags', 'add comments', ecc...)

Hi, colored text is now implemented :)
I adopted Lab color space, so the different colors (like Active, Negative, Neutral, Positive, Link, Visited) for a particular region look with almost uniform perceived lightness..

Update :D !

Hello, and thanks for feedback!

Many text colors need adjustments, indeed. We would like to rationalize the hues for them, and equalize values to have, for all texts on a particular area, the same perceived lightness.

This first version is only a first scratch, so stay tuned for updates :)
