I prefer dimmed themes like Solarized Light which is Yellowish or Creamy (@hanpari already mentioned this)

Dark themes hurt my eyesight. It may be a medical condition or continuous fatigue. However, when I use a dark theme. I start to have double vision with texts. It becomes harder to read in a way that leads to a loss of focus.

On the other hand, light themes are too bright to handle. Thus, it leads us to an in-between choice. We get a subtle contrast and a reduced exposure to bright lights.
