Add accessible syntax highlighting themes
Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
Purpose
The existing syntax highlighting themes (other than "none") all seem to have at least one color combination that has low contrast.
Proposal
Add at least one light and one dark syntax highlighting theme that has sufficient color contrast. Each theme should have the same or greater level of language coverage as the existing themes.
Here are some candidates that both have light and dark support (language coverage would have to be tested):
