Emacs: 'doric-lilac' and 'doric-borage' coming to the 'doric-themes'
I have been working on two new themes for my minimalist doric-themes
package. The original plan was to publish them together as part of the
version 1.2.0 from a few days ago (the version that also brought
doric-tiger and doric-lion), but then I decided to refine them
further.
doric-lilac is a light theme, while doric-borage is dark. I am
still testing them, though in the screenshots below you can get a
first look.
Borage, by the way, occurs naturally in the mountains and there even is some in my land: all sorts of bees love it. I have seen lilac around, so I will need to transplant some of it here.

Part of development
The new themes will be available in version 1.3.0. They already have
the character I want from them, though I may still tweak some colour
values.

The Doric themes use few colours and will appear monochromatic in many contexts. They are my most minimalist themes. Styles involve the careful use of typographic features and subtleties in colour gradients to establish a consistent rhythm.
If you want maximalist themes in terms of colour, check my ef-themes
package. For something in-between, which I would consider the best
“default theme” for a text editor, opt for my modus-themes.
