Pace Pro
A refined theme family for Zed built on the Tailwind CSS color palette — clean, minimal, and easy on the eyes.
Four variants to match your setup and time of day.
Variants
Pace Dark
A deep navy dark theme with warm highlights and clear syntax differentiation.

Pace Dark Pro
Between OLED and regular Dark — a very deep blue-black background (#0A0F1A)
with vivid OLED-style syntax colors. The sweet spot for most setups.

Pace Dark Pro OLED
Pure black background — designed for OLED displays where true black saves battery and looks stunning.

Pace Light Pro
A clean minimal light theme. Every surface is white — no visual noise between the sidebar and editor.

Color Philosophy
All themes share the same syntax role mapping — only the intensity and background change between variants:
