Modern light themes (white on white) suck. What is your favourite Plasma Theme?

I agree with @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online a lot here.

I think a color scheme solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone.

What is your favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6?

Please add a screenshot!

This was the peak of light themes. Nothing is pure white except the parts with lots of text that needs to be very clear.
- Agreed. Anyone got a KDE screenshot from that era?
  
  I have to say I like this one
  
  Early KDE design was so weird, like transparency and Windows 95-ish rest? For sure!

  kde can still look like that too:
  
  i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been
  
  i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[^1] better unless you're in bright sunlight: images and video aren't affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

  @Pantherina @smileyhead Where did early KDE have transparency?
- I heard you like Windows 7... 😉 :
  
  That's like the uncanny valley of Windows 7. So very close but not quite the same.
I use Breeze Dark. All the white in light themes hurts my eyes after a little while.
- Yes but I found that I need to increase display brightness overall to have the same readability. So I switched back
I use Magna Dark
