Inspired by Sydney's bright harbour mornings, salt-air breezes, and soft coastal light, this theme keeps the editor clean and airy with porcelain whites and misty blues. Gentle ocean surfaces and clear selections preserve focus, while a deep teal accent and warm sandstone highlights add contrast across tabs, borders, and search matches without losing the calm, sunlit feel.
