  • melange-nvim

    🗡️ Warm color scheme for Neovim and beyond

  • Thanks! Honestly I think the colorscheme is overall not great and needs some fine tuning. There's another colorscheme (melange) that I think has some nice ideas, and that I might start to play with!

  • alabaster.nvim

    Neovim port of tonsky's alabaster for Sublime Text. Use https://sr.ht/~p00f/alabaster.nvim instead

  • I like alabaster for something minimal and dark. I don’t know if I’d say it’s warm but I think so

  • Zenburn

    Zenburn is a low-contrast color scheme for Vim.

  • You might like Zenburn. There's the original Vim version, and this other version specifically for Neovim. I haven't actually noticed a difference yet, but I only just installed the Neovim version.

  • zenburn.nvim

    Zenburn for the modern age

  • You might like Zenburn. There's the original Vim version, and this other version specifically for Neovim. I haven't actually noticed a difference yet, but I only just installed the Neovim version.
