Can the Github syntax highlighting scheme be changed?

Is there a way to change the color scheme on Github for syntax highlighting? I have done a basic search and could not find an answer.

There is currently no way to change the color scheme server-side.


Several users of github.com have already asked for custom grammars (#2627 and #2598), which, depending on the solution proposed, may also mean being able to change the color scheme. There are, however, some technical and legal concerns to address before this could be implemented (see #2627 in particular).

If you wanted to do this client-side, you could use a browser extension to change the color scheme. Of course, this would require all users to download an install that extension.
