Inspired by Madrid's sunlit limestone and the carmín flash of a flamenco dress, this light theme creates a warm, luminous coding atmosphere on saffron surfaces with terracotta accents. Azulejo teal and bougainvillea touches add Spanish summer warmth. The result is an elegant, vivid environment built for long, focused sessions.
A light theme from the Codigrate Cities collection, released 2026-05-29. Tags: Warm, Energetic, Mediterranean.

Getting started on Xcode
- Download the zip with the Download button. Inside are two theme files: one for Xcode 26 ( .xcworkspacecolortheme ) and one for Xcode 16 and earlier ( .xccolortheme ).
- Copy both files into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/ ( in Finder, Shift+Cmd+G takes you to the path; create the folder if it is not there ).
- Xcode 26: open Settings → Appearance, click Choose next to Theme and pick the theme under Custom. Xcode 16 and earlier: Settings → Themes lists it after a restart.
- The theme paints the source editor, the console and the documentation view; the window keeps the macOS look.
