Both palettes come straight from the
official Dracula specification. Dracula
drives dark mode, Alucard drives light mode, and the theme exposes each
value as a --dracula-* CSS variable that follows the active color
scheme.

Starlight needs a few more surface colors than the core palette provides,
so the theme uses the background shades from the spec’s UI guidance for
panels, borders, and code blocks.
