Palette

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.

Variable Dracula Alucard
--dracula-background #282A36#FFFBEB
--dracula-foreground #F8F8F2#1F1F1F
--dracula-comment #6272A4#6C664B
--dracula-selection #44475A#CFCFDE
Variable Dracula Alucard
--dracula-red #FF5555#CB3A2A
--dracula-orange #FFB86C#A34D14
--dracula-yellow #F1FA8C#846E15
--dracula-green #50FA7B#14710A
--dracula-cyan #8BE9FD#036A96
--dracula-purple #BD93F9#644AC9
--dracula-pink #FF79C6#A3144D

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.
