Pro Helpful for people with astigmatism
People with astigmatism prefer the bright white background since the extra light causes your pupils to contract, which makes your focus sharper.

Leuven is a high-contrast theme preferring blue hues to red ones which makes it easier for people with deuteranomaly (most common form of red-green blindness) to distinguish different syntactical elements.

Sublime, Atom, Vim, iTerm, Terminal.app, Zsh, Slack, TextMate, Emacs, Visual Studio Code/Visual Studio, Xcode, IntelliJ, and more.
