The main documentation is in the manual https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#color-schemes-dialog and https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#special-file-filetypes-commo... and in the `filetypes.common` file `Menu->Tools->Configuration files->filetypes.common` file itself.

I am a Linux Mint user, and for some time, my primary text editor has been Xed, which is the default in Mint. I found a color scheme I like pretty well (Cobalt), but Xed is missing a key feature that I have been hoping would be implemented for some time: Xed does not have an option or feature to save open tabs on exit, and restore them when re-opening Xed. There is a feature request for this function that has been open since May of 2018, with no action. So I gave up and started looking elsewhere, and have pretty well settled on Geany.
I found the themes on github, downloaded and installed them. I brought up a variety of documents and scripts and tried the various (Dark) themes. Unfortunately, my eyes are old, and none of the dark themes seemed to provide enough contrast to be readily readable for me. I have started to modify the "Ralesk's MC" theme, as it seemed a reasonable starting point.
I have looked (unsuccessfully to this point) for documentation on the format of the Theme .conf files. Has such documentation been written? Could someone post a link to any suitable information on this topic, if it exists?
TIA, Alan Becker
