Color values (workbench UI colors and syntax highlighting) are adapted from "GitLab Theme for Visual Studio Code" (gitlab-vscode-theme), Copyright (c) 2022-present GitLab B.V., licensed under the MIT License. This port maps VS Code's colors / tokenColors / semanticTokenColors onto Zed's theme schema; a few workbench and tree-sitter syntax categories that don't have a 1:1 VS Code equivalent (e.g. terminal "dim" ANSI colors, a couple of optional UI chrome keys) were approximated from the closest matching source color rather than invented from scratch.
