Iron Man

Iron Man is a theme for the Zed editor.
The colors are arc-reactor gold, repulsor blue, and crimson red on near-black chrome.

Variants

Iron Man Dark is the primary theme.

The syntax colors are:

• Repulsor blue #67C7EB is for types, constructors, and enums.
• Bright repulsor #9ADCF5 is for builtin primitives (i32, str).
• Arc gold #FBCA03 is for values: numbers, booleans, constants, and variants.
• Bright gold #FCE154 is for functions and macros.
• Bronze #B97D10 is for strings.
• Mid gold #D7BB2B is for properties and parameters.
• Crimson #DA1F28 is for keywords and HTML tags.
• Copper-orange #FF8A1A is for self.
• HUD magenta #E04080 is for Rust lifetimes ('a, 'static).

HUD magenta is near suit crimson. It is not type-blue and not copper. As a result, &'a HashMap and &'a self stay distinct.

Iron Man Light uses the same layout. The golds and blues are darker for white backgrounds.

Each documented Tree-sitter capture has an explicit style. Grammars also emit dotted children (keyword.control, type.builtin, function.method). Each variant has 65 keys.

Contrast

Most syntax tokens meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 or more) against the editor background.

There is one known exception. The dark keyword crimson #DA1F28 measures 3.97:1 (AA large). Red cannot meet 4.5:1 on near-black without a salmon hue. The theme keeps this color and uses font weight 600.
