Inspired by cherry blossom season and the quiet gardens beneath it, this theme pairs pale petal backgrounds with deep rose and plum accents to create a soft and unhurried coding environment. Light, gentle surfaces keep the editor calm, while muted greens and clear sky blues add balance and focus to key syntax elements.

Getting started on Ghostty
- Download the theme with the Download button. It is one file named after the theme, for example Codigrate London; keep the name as is.
- Move the file into your Ghostty themes folder, ~/.config/ghostty/themes/ ( the same path on macOS and Linux ). If the folder is not there yet, create it in a terminal: mkdir -p ~/.config/ghostty/themes ( on a Mac, Shift+Cmd+G in Finder takes you to the path ).
- Open your Ghostty config: in Ghostty press Cmd+, ( Ctrl+, on Linux ), and the config file opens in your editor ( Ghostty creates it if you have none yet ). Add a line: theme = Codigrate London ( the file name ).
- Save, then press Shift+Cmd+, ( Ctrl+Shift+, on Linux ) in Ghostty to reload the config, and the theme is applied.

- HWB: Pick a Hue, Add White, Add Black: HWB reads like a mixing recipe: a hue, some white, some black. How sakura pink falls out of a rose hue drowned in white, and where hwb() works in CSS.
