VS Code for Education has many features to help make the editor accessible to all users. Zoom and High Contrast colors improve editor visibility, keyboard-only navigation allows use without a mouse, and the editor has been optimized for screen readers.

The following are recommended themes for color vision accessibility:

- [Blinds](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tankashing.blinds-theme) - Created with Deuteranopia in mind and possesses a high contrast color ratio.
- [Greative](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Greative.greative) - Considers both colorblindness and light sensitivity.
