Emrald Theme for Obsidian

A focused, premium theme built around deep emerald and warm gold — like a well-lit study at night, or sun-warmed parchment by day.

Dark Mode

Deep emerald backgrounds with bright emerald and warm gold accents. Designed for long sessions without eye fatigue.

Dark — Headers & Text Dark — Code & Tables Dark — Callouts & Settings

Warm paper tones with dark emerald text and subtle gold highlights. Feels like writing on quality stationery.

About

Emrald is built by Effort Mastery LLC, the team behind the EMRALD Obsidian plugin — an effort management system that tracks what your work actually costs you.

The theme pairs naturally with the plugin but works beautifully on its own.
