Choosing a variant
Compare the Lucide Dark Theme palettes and select a suitable workspace.
Choose for your environment#
Try Lucide Obsidian or Lucide Midnight for a dark workspace, or Lucide Snow and Lucide Paper for light surfaces. Palette families such as Dracula, Nord, Catppuccin, Gruvbox, and Sumi-e let you change the overall character while keeping the icon style.
