I found Everforest a few months ago and really like it: https://github.com/sainnhe/everforest

  Noctis is a collection of light & dark themes with a well balanced blend of warm and cold colors (by liviuschera)

Noctis: https://github.com/liviuschera/noctis

Specifically, I try to match the theme variant to my lighting conditions. I had some major eye strain for a while, and doing this seemed helped.

• neovim-ayu

  17 360 4.2 Lua

  Ayu theme for Neovim.

I'm not a fan of the pastel/low contrast style most of the themes have these days. My theme of choice is Ayu (dark) (https://github.com/Shatur/neovim-ayu). Absolutely gorgeous.

• lp-conf-cli

  1 0 10.0 Shell

  MDVL Basic CLI Configuration Package aka ”dotfiles”

For my needs, contrast must be strong. Hence I mostly stick to the defaults on a 16-color urxvt.

vim: `ron` which I think is the default.

vifm: custom-made colorscheme (https://github.com/m7a/lp-conf-cli/blob/master/vifmrc if you're interested, screenshot: https://masysma.net/32/conf-cli_att/scrvifmtheme.png)

Occasionally, I turn off syntax highlighting altogether (most often this happens in Markdown or HTML documents where the default syntax highlighting does stupid things like trying to set the font to italic...)
