Vim Color Schemes

1. base16-vim

   1 16 154 0.0 Vim Script

   Base16 for Vim

   

   I'm a huge fan of the base16 color schemes - not for their appearance (though most look great), but for their ease of integration within the shell and vim. Just clone the repos below, drop a few lines in your shellrc/vimrc, then use a single bash command to change the scheme in both. No mucking more mucking with Xresources.

3. base16

   2 26 774 0.0

   Not a theme, but a framework

5. shoji

   4 2 12 1.3 Vim Script

   Discontinued vim theme that conveys syntax with colorful background highlighting (instead of colored text)

6. nord

   5 82 6,399 1.7 SCSS

   An arctic, north-bluish color palette.

   

   Over recent years I've been drawn to the cross-tool themes like Nord and Dracula.

   Having consistency between neovim, fzf, bat and fish is lovely.

7. vim-dim

   6 13 258 0.0 Vim Script

   Dim (/dɪm/; a contraction of Default IMproved) is a clone of Vim’s default colorscheme, with some improvements.

   

   I achieve that same consistency with virtually zero configuration by simply setting the colors in my terminal and forgetting about it. Stopped all the fiddling with color schemes quite a while ago.

   Good explanation: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/vim-16-color/

8. Apprentice

   7 10 898 3.5 Vim Script

11. Vim

    9 435 38,112 9.9 Vim Script

    The official Vim repository

    

    FWIW, modern reworks of the built-in colorschemes are on their way [1]. We plan to add more third-party colorschemes in the future as we streamline the creation and validation process.

14. vim-nightfly-colors

    12 23 880 8.9 Lua

    A dark midnight theme for modern Neovim & classic Vim

    

    After constantly switching schemes I "finally" settled on using nightfly.

15. pywal

    13 86 8,096 0.0 Python

    Discontinued 🎨 Generate and change color-schemes on the fly.

    There are a bunch of tools that generate color schemes for other tools based on a template of their configs. For example pywal is a popular one: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal But pretty much every major scripting language like JS, ruby, etc. has their own take on the same idea.

    Base16 is another popular one with a ton of implementations: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16

16. kitty

    14 315 27,402 9.9 Python

    Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

    

    I use i3 and win+enter is bound to spawn a new terminal. I had read that kitty was supposed to be super fast, but I tried it out and spawning a terminal was taking .5-1 second!

    I looked it up and found https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/330 where the dev says:

    > that's just python interpreter startup time

    So... The answer is just "yeah it's slow". When you're used to a few milliseconds for terminal spawn, .5s is eons.
