Description

The standalone editor ships a subset of these -- https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color

(Originally posted by @alexdima in https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/1631#issuecomment-564283206)

I would like which options are really used, for example input.placeholderForeground is not applied as far as I can see, which subset is really used?

See: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color

input.placeholderForeground: Input box foreground color for placeholder text.
