    🌲 Comfortable & Pleasant Color Scheme for Vim

  • photon.vim

    Discontinued A pair of Vim colour schemes with minimal syntax highlighting.

  • I had been looking for a nice light theme for a while and antiphoton.vim really sold it for me

  • vim-solarized8

    Optimized Solarized colorschemes. Best served with true-color terminals!

  • I use https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-solarized8. Light mode for the win. I only turn on dark mode when it's ... dark, shocking.

  • acme-colors

    acme colors for vim

  • I prefer little-to-none syntax highlighting -- lately I have been using a slightly modified version of acme.vim, which is based on the colors of Rob Pike's Acme editor for Plan9. Very simply and easy on the eyes.
