## What it is
New Moon is an optimized dark syntax highlighting theme designed for web development, with a consistent color palette across editors, terminals, and browser DevTools. It is particularly tuned for HTML, CSS/Sass, PHP, and JavaScript including JSX/React and Vue.

## Use cases
- dark theme for vscode
- consistent color scheme across editor and terminal
- syntax theme optimized for html css and javascript
- dark theme for chrome devtools
- color scheme for long coding hours
- iterm2 dark theme

## When to choose
- you want one cohesive dark theme across VS Code, Sublime, Vim, terminals, and Chrome DevTools
- you do a lot of HTML/CSS/JSX/PHP work and want intuitive color connections between markup and styles
- you find popular dark themes too blue-heavy and want an eye-friendly palette

## When to avoid
- you prefer light themes or high-contrast themes
- you need a theme for languages outside web development primarily
- you want a theme with frequent updates or broad IDE support beyond the listed platforms
