This document lists all the colors used in this theme. If you prefer a more visual overview, you can take a look at the Inkscape SVG in this repository named Breeze Colors.

Official Colors

The following colors appear in the official specification of the Breeze theme. Some of these colors might only be found in the tables below the color chart.

Some of these colors might have no name. I gave those a generic name written in italic.

There is also an Inkscape SVG Document in this repository containing all the colors.

Primary

Colors used in the background and foreground of various elements. The first and last three are used as standard foreground / background while the remaining ones in the middle are used for disabled elements or things like borders.

Color name Hex
Paper White #fcfcfc
Cardboard Gray #eff0f1
Alternate Gray #bdc3c7
Lazy Gray #afb0b3
Coastal Fog #7f8c8d
Icon Gray #4d4d4d
Charcoal Gray #31363b
Shade Black #232629

The primary selection color is Plasma Blue (#3daee9).

Secondary

These colors are used for color accents, for example to show errors or colored icons. I list all colors with the same tint in one line, ignoring their official name. Usually, the icon color is something like Icon Red, darker is a darker variant of that color in the color chart and accent colors are very saturated colors like Danger Red. If there is a color I couldn't figure out where to place, it's under extra.

Color Icon Darker Accent Extra

Green #2ecc71 #27ae60 #10d116
Turquoise #1abc9c #16a085 #1cdc9a

Colors added by me

The following colors are not part of the official Breeze color table. I have added these to this theme since they are used in the Plasma desktop and I wanted to integrate the look as good as possible. In the *.theme.json files, these colors are defined at the bottom with all letters written in upper case.

Color name Hex Usage in Plasma
Title Gray #DEE0E2 background of window title bars
Tab Gray #CDCFD0 background of tabs that are not selected, for example in Kate and Dolphin
Space Black #1B1E20 background of dolphin in dark theme

Every other color either only appears once or is a shade of a color specified above.

Shades

Shades are variants of the colors above with 20, 40 or 60 percent transparency in front of either shade black or paper white. Their primary use case is as a background.

Most important color values:

  • paper white: #fcfcfc
  • cardboard gray: #eff0f1
  • charcoal gray: #31363b
  • shade black: #232629
