A fully spec‐compliant theme implementation can be found by visiting the dracula/visual‐studio‐code repository.

2General

2.1Diffs

2.2Markup (Markdown, RST, etc.)

Note Braces and parens should be the same color as the foreground color of the currently scoped position in the document (e.g. Purple for headings, Foreground for regular text)

3Classes

Note InstanceReservedWords refers to reserved words that the language uses to interact with the instance (e.g. this, self, super).

Example
/**
 * @param {string} foo - Some string parameter.
// ^^^^^^ -------------------------------------- Pink
//        ^      ^ ----------------------------- Cyan
//         ^^^^^^ ------------------------------ Cyan Italic

Types
(Cyan)Italic
Note GenericTemplatesAndMappedDeclarations refers to the declarations of generic types only. In the following example, only the T in the brackets would be Orange. function myFunc<T>(x: T): T {}
Note GenericTemplatesAndMappedDeclarations would also color P and T on the LHS and T in the declaration of the following expression.
Example
type PartialExample<T> = { // T = Orange Italic
  [P in keyof T]?: T[P];   // P and T on the LHS = Orange Italic
}

13Strings

14Variables

Destructuring Example
const x = {
    foo: 'foo',
    bar: 'bar',
    baz: 'baz',
};

// foo = Orange Italic
// myFoo = Foreground
const { foo: myFoo } = x;
Import/Export Example
export { Foo };                     // Foo = Foreground
export { Foo as myFoo };            // Foo = Orange Italic, myFoo = Foreground
import { Foo as myFoo } from 'foo'; // Foo = Orange Italic, myFoo = Foreground
import { Foo } from 'foo';          // Foo = Foreground
