Nord

About Nord

Nord is an arctic-inspired, blue-toned color palette designed for code syntax highlighting and UI components, aimed at achieving clean, uncluttered visual design with optimal focus and readability.

The palette is organized into four groups: Polar Night, Snow Storm, Frost, and Aurora, using a modular numbering system from nord0 to nord15, with each group containing a different number of colors. Color swatches are available in multiple native formats for installation into various applications.

Nord is distributed through a collection of "port" projects that apply the palette to different applications and tools, allowing users to unify the visual appearance across their software environment. It is intended for developers and designers who want a consistent color scheme across their toolchain, and the project maintains community channels for chat, support, and idea submission.
