Looking for IntelliJ Idea theme for someone red-green colorblind

I'm colorblind and, while many themes for IntelliJ editors are just fine, I was wondering if there was a theme developed with the comfort of someone who is colorblind in mind.

Solution

  • The best solution would be to make your own color theme (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-colors-and-fonts.html) or pick one you like from the internet and edit it to best suit you.

    And to answer best your question, there isn't, in my knowledge, a color theme for red-green colorblind BUT there are "soft" color themes, which simply use very little color.

    EDIT: Forgot to say that there is also an option (in BETA) to adjust the IDE depending on your color deficiency (http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/09/intellij-idea-15-eap-help-us-test-the-adjustments-for-color-deficiency/), this may help.
