Since we installed vim airline and vim colorschemes we can change the look and feel of neovim/vim. Find your favorite vim colorscheme here also find your favorite airline theme here For this blog, we will use the gruvbox theme along with the base16 airline theme. To make this permanent write these in your nvim config.

Like mentioned before, pastel colors are not always the best when it comes to readability. This is why I've stuck with Panda Syntax for such a long time. Even though it's not very pastel, I still think it's very cute. As a little extra, I would recommend having this tasty scheme together with the Fruit Punch Airline Theme.

Now... Having the intense urge of sprucing up your coding experience with pastel colors that make you feel homely, cozy, relaxed and vibing does not mean that it's going to make for the most readable code. Soft Era is a classic when it comes to smooth color vibes. It's just not that readable. Still cute though!
