Omarchy Giants Theme
Standing on the shoulders of giants. A warm, low-contrast dark theme for Omarchy built around ink on aged paper: sepia and cream foregrounds over a soft brown-black background, with a dusty terracotta accent.
This is for pioneers working on the computer pre-internet. (We'll do another series for Internet and later).
