tokyonight-vim
Discontinued [ARCHIVED : Lack of time to maintain] A clean, dark vim colorscheme that celebrates the lights of downtown Tokyo at night, based on a VSCode theme by @enkia with the same name
I used nord for a long while, definitely one of my favourite themes. Later I found iceberg[0] to be a better alternative with similar feel.

There's almost no contrast, it's quite hard to read. Personally on my OLED I like black background themes, such as Hyper Term Black.

There is a nice Nord theme for Obsidian. The Minimal theme has one as well but seems to use fewer colours than Obsidian_Nord.

I love Nord theme but with a touch of color

Both Vim [1] and Emacs[2] are on the ports page [0]. In Emacs it's as easy to install as `package-install nord-theme` and then `load-theme nord`. I will note that I tried it out in Emacs running in Windows Terminal and it looks terrible, completely different from the demo and almost unusable - I quickly went back to one of the default themes, tango-dark. This is probably only going to work in the GUI version.

I was on gruvbox dark for a while but recently moved to melange (https://github.com/savq/melange) - I find the colors are a bit more toned down and pleasant to look at.
I agree, my first impression was confusion over why they are making such a big deal out of a simple color palette.
I could be wrong, but it looks like they modified a website template which was originally meant for advertising a service or product, which could explain why it feels a bit strange and overwrought.
Also, I feel like [Base16](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16) is a better approach to the problem, by providing a framework rather than a single palette.
Regarding Discord, considering that everybody and their grandmother has a discord these days, I suppose having one for a color theme is not so surprising. There used to be IRC channels for everything, after all. It's a shame that Discord has gained so much traction, being a proprietary walled garden. That's a topic for another day, though.
