  3. nightfox.nvim

    🦊A highly customizable theme for vim and neovim with support for lsp, treesitter and a variety of plugins.

    That has to be nightfox.nvim in my case. Wonderful dark & light palettes and extra themes for Xresources and plenty of terminals. Highly customizable. Just excellent.

  4. onedark.nvim

    Discontinued Atom's iconic One Dark theme for Neovim, written in Lua (by ful1e5)

    ful1e5/onedark.nvim is completely written in Lua which means it loads way faster. It also supports Treesitter which provides way better syntax highlighting, which dick/onedark.vim doesn't. Lastly, my favourite feature is that it allows you to override/create highlight group configs and pass to the plugin before loading the colorscheme which makes customizing highlight groups super easy (and I would guess faster as well?) compared to calling highlight a bunch of times in your config. Here's What my configuration of it looks like if you're curious.

  5. onedark.vim

    A dark Vim/Neovim color scheme inspired by Atom's One Dark syntax theme.

    ful1e5/onedark.nvim is completely written in Lua which means it loads way faster. It also supports Treesitter which provides way better syntax highlighting, which dick/onedark.vim doesn't.

  6. vim-dim

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

  7. srcery-vim

    Srcery is a dark color scheme with clearly defined contrasting colors and a slightly earthy tone.

  8. cosme.vim

  10. orlock.nvim

    Dracula-ish colorscheme variant for neovim written in Lua

    I forked Mofiqul's dracula.nvim config and tweaked everything to my preference, using almost entirely tailwind hex values. https://github.com/beardage/orlock.nvim

  11. vim-colors-plain

    Minimal colorscheme for vim

    I've been using the light version of vim-colors-plain for years. Extremely simple.

  12. sonokai

    High Contrast & Vivid Color Scheme based on Monokai Pro

  13. zenbones.nvim

    🪨 A collection of contrast-based Vim/Neovim colorschemes

    Second best with minimalism as a completely different philosophy: zenbones.nvim

  14. vim-burnttoast256

    A Vim color scheme

    [burnttoast](https://github.com/quantum-omega/vim-burnttoast256)

  15. vim-monotone

    A dark, monochrome colorscheme for vim

  16. falcon

    A colour scheme for terminals, Vim and friends. (by fenetikm)

    Falcon is my favorite. Very readable in many different scenarios.

  17. iceberg.vim

    :antarctica: Bluish color scheme for Vim and Neovim

    iceberg, so far so good to me

  18. nvim

    My Neovim configuration (by mawkler)

    ful1e5/onedark.nvim is completely written in Lua which means it loads way faster. It also supports Treesitter which provides way better syntax highlighting, which dick/onedark.vim doesn't. Lastly, my favourite feature is that it allows you to override/create highlight group configs and pass to the plugin before loading the colorscheme which makes customizing highlight groups super easy (and I would guess faster as well?) compared to calling highlight a bunch of times in your config.

  19. boo-colorscheme-nvim

    Boo is a colorscheme for Neovim with handcrafted support for LSP, Tree-sitter.

    I really love BOO https://github.com/rockerBOO/boo-colorscheme-nvim but it seems not fully baked. Keeping my eye out though, because definitely my favorite colors.

  20. base16-vim

    Base16 for Vim

    chriskempson/base16-vim

  21. doom-one.vim

    A dark colorschme for vim, ported from doom-emacs' doom-one theme.

  25. vim-escuro

    Discontinued Modified version of the vim-railscasts colorscheme fitting my own peculiar tastes

  26. citylights.nvim

    A Neovim port of the beautiful City Lights syntax theme by Yummygum

    Citylights, everywhere. I ported it from VSCode/Sublime because it's so good (neovim, vim). I've got themes for it on my terminal, tmux, Slack, and every program I can change colours on too.

  28. vim-moonfly-colors

    A dark charcoal theme for modern Neovim & classic Vim

    I like moonfly: https://github.com/bluz71/vim-moonfly-colors

  29. vim-fahrenheit

    Dark, warm base16 Vim theme for 256-color terminals

    If I had to take only one with me to an uninhabited island, I'd probably take mustang. That's the theme I used most I think. Otherwise I'll be like 80% comfortable with most dark themes. Currently using https://github.com/fcpg/vim-fahrenheit . Since the beginning of the pandemic.

  30. nord

    An arctic, north-bluish color palette.

    Yes...tmux, terminal, slack, etc... You can read all about them here.
