Why this theme works

Orange is psychologically proven to increase enthusiasm and encourage action—it's the perfect color for interfaces that need to motivate users to engage. This theme leverages that energy to create interfaces that feel dynamic and welcoming without being overwhelming or unprofessional.

Most orange themes either go too bright and feel aggressive, or too muted and lose that energetic spark. This orange strikes the perfect balance—vibrant enough to feel exciting and motivating, warm enough to feel approachable and friendly.

Dark mode transforms the orange into something more sophisticated while maintaining that enthusiastic energy. The orange becomes more elegant against dark backgrounds, creating interfaces that feel both modern and energetically appealing.
