Hello,
I’ll confess it took me a long time to discover color schemes (it’s just a Cmd+8 away!), and now I can’t get enough of them!
Is there somewhere a collection of more color schemes? (or if not, should we make one? 
)
Regards,
Agam
There have been colour schemes in the past but I’ve not seen any new files and the old ones will miss some settings needed I the era of OS dark/light mode. To make your own, either customise your current set-up and export it from the Colors Inspector as a TBC file.
Or if you prefer to work from coding a TBC file, where is the code of the “Tinderbox 7” colour scheme:

The name you see in the colour scheme listing in Doc Settings is the filename (without its extension) in case-sensitive form. Current convention is that custom colour scheme TBCs live in their own folders—named as for the colour scheme_ in the ‘color schemes’ folder of Tinderbox’s app support folder (which can be opened in Finder from the app’s Help menu).
Good luck with your colour schemes. 
Note that you can now save your document’s color scheme from the action menu in Inspector ▸ Document ▸ Colors.
Drag the saved .tbc file to other documents, or put it in there Color Schemes folder in the Tinderbox support folder to add it to the Document Settings list.
