<p>Based on <a href="http://simurai.com/projects/2016/01/01/duotone-themes">DuoTone themes</a> by <a href="http://simurai.com/">Simurai</a> for Atom.</p>

<blockquote>“DuoTone themes use only 2 hues (7 shades in total). It <strong>tones down</strong> less important parts (like punctuation and brackets) and highlights only the <strong>important</strong> ones. This leads to a more calm color scheme, but still lets you find the stuff you’re looking for.”</blockquote>

<p>Base2Tone has it’s own <a href="//github.com/atelierbram/Base2Tone">dedicated repository</a>, and demopage on <a href="//base2t.one/">base2t.one</a> where one can find links to dedicated repositories for generating syntax-highlighting themes for specific applications, like VS Code, Vim, iTerm2, HyperTerm and Prism.</p>
