Have you ever wondered how "average popular Neovim color scheme" looks like? I have. Here is the result (details in comments):

• forest-night

  33 2,512 6.5 Vim Script

  🌲 Comfortable & Pleasant Color Scheme for Vim

  (Full disclosure: initially I wanted to go with "top 5 Neovim color schemes" which would have included sainnhe/everforest as fifth one. But although its colors are sooooooo nice, it is quite different in terms of which attributes it defines for certain highlight groups. Including it instead of 'projekt0n/github-nvim-theme' resulted in not very coherent output. So in the end it was decided to take "top 5 Lua color schemes".)

• mini.nvim

  146 3,813 9.6 Lua

  Library of 35+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.7 and higher) experience with minimal effort

  Thankfully, the recent release of 'mini.colors' makes this task much more manageable.
