Sakura Theme for Slack

The Codigrate Sakura theme for Slack. Preview the screenshot and the palette, then get it in a few steps.

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.
