Best colour schemes for HTML, CSS and Javascript

#1

Hi folks, I’m new to ST2 and I like what I see so far. But I’d like to know which colour schemes you guys think are best for writing HTML, CSS and Javascript.

I found one called “Railscast” that is pretty good. Also I like Zenburn.

I’m liking Indy Merbivore Soft, which I tweaked a little.

I’m using Monokai Dark: https://github.com/Anomareh/Monokai-Dark.tmTheme

It’s supposed to be a tweaked Monokai, but I haven’t compared the two closely. I basically liked the darker background and stuck with it.

I’ve found most of the themes tend to ignore html a bit, and focus on Ruby or straight JS. So I started today with Railscast and added some more “definition” in the HTML. I also felt the colors in the theme, when applied to HTML code, was a little too loud. (scroll down in image for html part)

Awesome! I use Railscasts theme also as I do lots of Rails development but it lacks with HTML/JavaScript coloring, as do most schemes. Can you share your modified scheme?

I call it “Refresh.” It’s a modified version of IR_Black.

Here is a theme that i crafted over the past few years from the original railscasts theme. I more cool reds blues and yellows desaturated that the browns and oranges from Ryans theme.

I not only do a ton of Ruby and Rails work, but a lot of UI work as well. So im in HTML JS and CSS quite a bit every day.

Enjoy. I hope people find it to be a help. If you like it… Pass it on.

Most of the customization is for javascript and requires a pretty customized JS tmLanguage file to go with it.

I love “Birds of Paradise” theme for pure Javascript. You can grab it here http://joebergantine.com/werkstatt/birds-of-paradise-for-textmate. It is for Textmate but works with Sublime Text perfect !

Can you guys recommend a good theme to use for WordPress theming? So files will often have a mix of PHP and HTML5 and I’m looking for a theme that will accommodate that.

Better still, how do I create my own theme for ST2?

I’ve made some customisations to Monokai and this serves me very well for HTML, CSS, JS, DIFF, etc.

These are all dark themes which seem to work best in a dark environment. Working in a very bright setting with lots of windows, I find the dark text on light backgrounds gives better results. Maybe that’s just me. Does anyone have any good light themes for primarily work in HTML, JS, CSS and JSP?

I think monokai bright works great with HTML, not that great with CSS though.

I use a color scheme I created to mimic the Bespin theme in Notepad++. I made it specifically to make HTML and CSS easier to look at.
