New UI Icon Palette

Canonical color palette used by New UI icons. When picking colors, always pull from this table; the IntelliJ icon engine recolors by exact-string match, so a one-off hue will fail to theme.

How to read the mapping

Light column is the color used in the default (light) SVG file: foo.svg.
Dark column is its replacement in the _dark partner: foo_dark.svg.
Always swap all light colors at once when generating the dark variant. Do not mix-and-match — the palette pairs are tuned for contrast.

Neutrals (most icons need only these)

Role	Light	Dark
Primary stroke / fill (main glyph)	`#6C707E`	`#CED0D6`
Secondary stroke (chevrons, faint glyph)	`#818594`	`#6F737A`
Tertiary stroke (very faint)	`#A8ADBD`	`#9DA0A8`
Disabled / inert fill background	`#EBECF0`	`#43454A`
Background plate (rare)	`#F0F1F2`	`#5A5D63` / `#1E1F22`
Plain white (status glyph only)	`white`	per-status muted (see below)

#6C707E ↔ #CED0D6 is the single most-used pair across the entire icon set. If you only remember one pair, remember this one.

Accent — Blue (primary action, info, default node)

Role	Light	Dark
Stroke / fill	`#3574F0`	`#548AF7`
Soft background fill (node circle)	`#E7EFFD`	`#25324D`
Tinted-panel fill	`#EDF3FF`	`#25324D`
Alt blue (rare)	`#4682FA`	`#5F93FF`

Accent — Red (delete, error nodes, breakpoints)

Role	Light	Dark
Stroke / fill	`#DB3B4B`	`#DB5C5C`
Soft background fill	`#FFF7F7`	`#402929`
Status badge fill (error circle)	`#E55765`	`#DB5C5C`

The slightly different #DB3B4B (line / accent) vs #E55765 (badge fill) split is intentional — the filled status circle is a touch more saturated than the line accent.

Accent — Green (run, success, version-control add)

Role	Light	Dark
Stroke / fill	`#208A3C`	`#57965C`
Soft background fill	`#F2FCF3`	`#253627`
Status badge fill (success circle)	`#55A76A`	`#57965C`
Alt green (rare)	`#369650`	`#5FAD65`

Accent — Orange / Yellow (warning, modified, bookmark)

Role	Light	Dark
Orange stroke / fill	`#E66D17`	`#C77D55`
Orange soft fill	`#FFF4EB`	`#45322B`
Warning yellow (status triangle)	`#FFAF0F`	`#F2C55C`
Warning soft fill	`#FFFAEB` / `#F7E4CD`	`#3D3223`
Brown / gold deep	`#C27D04`	`#D6AE58`
Muted dark glyph inside warning fill	n/a (uses `white`)	`#5E4D33`

The "white on yellow" combination is illegible in Dark theme; that's why the dark warning glyph uses #5E4D33 (a deep brown). Apply the same idea — muted-dark glyph inside the warm fill — for any other warm-color badge in the dark theme.

Accent — Purple (annotations, special / preview)

Role	Light	Dark
Stroke / fill	`#834DF0`	`#B589EC`
Soft background fill	`#FAF5FF`	`#2F2936`
Alt purple (rare)	n/a	`#A571E6`

Reserved / utility

Role	Light/Dark
Inside-circle glyph (light status)	`white`
Empty / placeholder	`#231F20` (avoid)
Tool window panel base (very rare)	`#1E1F22` (dark)
Other repository-specific tints	only when a sibling icon already uses them

If your icon needs a color that is not in this table, find a sibling icon that uses something similar and reuse its exact hex string. If no sibling uses it, change your design — do not introduce a new color.

A script can do a literal find-and-replace using this map to produce a _dark.svg from a light SVG; review the result manually for any white-on-warm cases that need the muted-dark glyph treatment.
