Hey all, I'm one of Zed's designers and Catpuccin is our most downloaded theme ever, and the second most downloaded extension; awesome work all around. However, there has been an ongoing problem with it and that's the border.variant token. It just looks way too bright in all theme variants when it's actually supposed to be a less emphasized border color than its sibling border. I've had many user reports thinking that was a bug due to how certain elements end up emphasized, so I thought I'd open this PR to fix it. I used the same colors in both the "mauve" and "no italics" variants, too.

Here's a preview — you can see mainly how the border below the toolbar looks properly darker and de-emphasized:

The actual colors were achieved by tweaking the lightness and saturation of the previous colors, maintaining the hue.

I believe you should update zed.tera instead. Both json files are generated from that template.
