Code Review

This pull request introduces two new colorblind-friendly themes, 'GitHub Dark Colorblind' and 'GitHub Light Colorblind', which is a great accessibility improvement. The implementation is correct, and the new themes are properly registered. My main feedback is about significant code duplication between the two new theme files. I've suggested a refactoring approach using a factory function to centralize the theme structure, which will improve long-term maintainability.
