Basic info : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_gray Apple Soundtrack Pro manual for visual reference: https://usermanual.wiki/Apple/SoundtrackPro30.691501040/view

I fine tune it my self, there is a room for interpretation over basic middle gray as lightness value, you can colorize it with subtle bluish, greenish or warm colors.

Soundtrack Pro example is well balanced implementation. When they released it I thought that this will be the default pro UI theme in MacOS.

But iPhone came around and Apple left all Pro Software and Audience behind.

Thanks, gave me the inspiration to tweak KDEs breeze theme. Might make switching color schemes at sunrise and -set a thing of the past.

Thanks, seems indeed very balanced. I´d prefer a warmer touch like going a bit in the direction of solarized light. Maybe i should try and tweek it.

I have started KDE color transfer of Soundtrack Pro. It is low contrast and takes some time to adjust but I find it useful for long hours of work. I prefer most of the contrast to stay in active working area/canvas etc. It is WIP and needs some polish but is a start. May be I will do more neutral version, Soundtrack is more towards blue/violet gamma. https://we.tl/t-v5SjRKTjRM Combine this with Inter or SF Display and you will have clean and professional interface.

You can preview Soundtrack Pro color scheme with stylish icon pack Nordic Darker. https://ibb.co/ZgkBtGW The idea behind this solution is to keep you eyes focused on textual representation of the interface and active work area. Soundtrack Pro is more complete because of the depth derived from skeumorphic elements.

That does look pleasing. Hopefully you'll make a theme on the kde store one day!
