gruvbox-material VS vim-solarized8

There's also gruvbox-material which is geared specifically towards eye saving. https://github.com/sainnhe/gruvbox-material

There are also non-purple-ish color schemes coming right after top 5: - sainnhe/everforest - sainnhe/gruvbox-material and ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim - navarasu/onedark.nvim - marko-cerovac/material.nvim (except one variation) - shaunsingh/nord.nvim

This is the one I use! https://github.com/sainnhe/gruvbox-material

My own version of gruvbox-material. Highlights are done here in my dotfiles and the colorscheme itself is here

The classic gruvbox theme: https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox-contrib Gruvbox material theme: https://github.com/sainnhe/gruvbox-material/wiki/Related-Projects

Theme is gruvbox material with a few mods to fix some colors

Default theme gruvbox-material

I use https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8. Light mode for the win. I only turn on dark mode when it's ... dark, shocking.

You need a theme that supports true colors (by defining guifg guibg attributes for each syntax item). I use this one https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8.

Solarized obviously https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8

If PuTTY supports truecolor, try some tests from this https://github.com/termstandard/colors, next question is which solarized plugin are you using? It matters, because they have different options you can tweak. By far the easiest in terms of compatibility is https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8

I changed from neosolarized to solarized8 for a similar reason.

https://github.com/jsit/toast.vim at daylight and https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8 at night. Of course, i made some little adjusts for my necessary. They are the only ones that my eyes feel comfortable when working constantly for a long time :)))

Trying to get the fallback version of this colorscheme https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8

Also coming from a practical point of view, I am using the Solarized Dark theme, specifically the high-contrast version here: https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8 It is relatively easy on the eyes, and doesn't look too awful.
