My understanding is that there are currently many ways to add new color themes in Visual Studio 2019, but none that really fits my needs:
Color Themes for Visual Studio installs new themes to chose in the native options menu,Color Theme Editor for Visual Studio 2019 installs a gui to chose and install themes,Themes but the selection is scarce compared to the VS Code themes marketplace,So, what I am looking for is a way to easily find themes so I don't have to create or build one myself.
More specifically, I'd like to install an equivalent of the theme Winter is Coming Light found in the VS Code marketplace which I cannot use directly in Visual Studio 2019, since they use different theme formats (.vstheme is XML versus JSON for VSCode) and, by extension, any way to browse through a selection of themes as rich as the one we can find on VS Code.

The easiest way to install a Visual Studio theme is to navigate over to the Extensions option in the menu bar and select Manage Extensions. The next step is to select Visual Studio Marketplace under Online on the left panel. Once done, search for the theme you want and select it in the search results.
Windows %USERPROFILE%\. vscode\extensions. macOS ~/. vscode/extensions.
On the menu bar, select Tools > Options. In the options list, select Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose between the default Dark theme, the Blue theme, the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and the Light theme. Or, choose the Use system setting option to select the theme that Windows uses.
In VS2019 go to Extensions -> Manage Extensions -> Online -> Visual Studio Market Place -> Tools -> Themes ... and you'll have plenty to choose and it includes a link to preview called "More information".
Oh! to use the downloaded theme you should go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General and inside it Color Theme.
