At first, your color palette made a very good first impression to me.
> I’m claiming it is an improvement in terms of usability, simply because Solarised wasn’t designed with these properties in mind.
Are you sure about that? On [1] and [2] the creator of Solarized describes why he choose low contrast and specific hue differences, representable in CIELAB. That sounds rather similar to your first three points in [3].
Even if the approaches have some similarities, it does doesn't denigrate your work. Thanks for continuing this line of work. And I am looking forward to test Penumbra in comparison to Solarized.

Nice work ... really like these!
Personally, I could see myself tweaking the palettes to have a bit more saturation and maybe even have a particular hue palette or have the hues centre around a particular value as you do with the "warm" variant or the "Zenburned" (my fav, and similar to my own manual scheme) in the showcase (https://github.com/mcchrish/zenbones.nvim/blob/main/doc/show...).
Interesting to compare to the the parent post as how luminance/brightness contrast based perception is generally better than our colour contrast based perception. There's arguably less information, as colours are categorical (not continuous like brightness) and colours multiplex brightness with hue and saturation, but there are probably some pretty objective metrics in which your kind of scheme would tend to be better in readability.

Hey, this is cool. I hacked together an R package to use this as a palette: https://github.com/hughjonesd/penumbra

Not my project, but the source code seems to be here https://github.com/ardov/huetone
If it seems useful to you try reaching out to them on a GitHub issue and see whether they'd be willing to implement the missing features or collaborate with you in another way.

Tree-sitter[0] can provide semantic highlighting and I've been using it with all the languages I program in, including writing my own grammar[1] for a language that didn't have syntax highlighting. The improvement in readability is a quantum leap, because colors actually have semantic meaning rather than just being eye candy.

> The search for a theme led me to Solarized by Ethan Schoonover, which I was ultimately not satisfied with but inspired me to try and improve on its ideas.

Which reminds me, of https://github.com/jan-warchol/selenized/blob/master/whats-w... Selenized is another theme which aims to improve on Solarized.
