amber

I built a colorscheme for Vim [0] that is close to monochrome when I was worried about blue light (I've since had kids and now this kind of worry doesn't rate at all), and I basically use bold and highlights (I hate underlining, italics, and squiggles, but I think you can do all that too in the GUI version). I found it surprisingly usable. [0]: https://github.com/camgunz/amber

Installation instructions, for those with Drosophila-like memory (like me): $ md ~/.vim/colors $ cd ~/.vim/colors $ curl -LO https://github.com/camgunz/amber/raw/master/colors/amber.vim $ vim amber.vim in vim :colorscheme amber :set background=light :set background=dark I like the look of it, though the syntax highlighting isn't as distinguishing as default (for java). BTW: I code on a phone, and set the colour temperature to warm (at night; cold during day).

I made a (what most people would consider terrible) vim color scheme that has no blue light in it (it's like an old amber terminal). Initially I thought I would hate it and switch back in a couple days/weeks, but I actually find it very nice, and switching to anything w/ blue light or a "normal color scheme" with blues and greens now weirdly feels like an assault.
