Is it weird to match your keyboard colorway to your IDE theme

So I bought this keycap set, teal and orange, $23 from some ali store

Then I realized my vscode theme is solarized dark. Which is... not teal and orange. Its teal and kinda brown??

So now im thinking do I switch theme to match caps or caps to match theme

This is stupid I know but its bothering me alot. $0 to change theme vs $23+shipping for new caps. But also I recieve more enjoyment from typing on pretty keys??

Im definately overthinking this. Anyone else do this or am I broken

Please. Not broken, just weaboo for color scheme

Server must match room. Help. What about deskmat? Monitor rgb? Chair? Full sync. I have friend, all setup is pink. Keycaps, case, underglow, wallpaper. Even mug. Very commitment

Your theme, your rule. But solarized dark is... how to say... classic. Many respect. Keep theme, change caps? Cheaper
