gruvbox

In case anyone's wondering, this website's syntax highlighting color scheme is called "gruvbox", which I quite like but took an embarrassingly long time to track down https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

This is mine: https://cosmo.red Inspired by: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com and https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox It's been years, but I always come back to gruvbox

I don't think we need a thread for every single terminal colorscheme out there, but gruvbox is my favourite by far. Warm earthy tones, comes in light or dark with 3 contrast options, and no pretentious waffle about color theory or being inspired by childhood holidays or whatever https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

> So I’m stuck writing code all day long with light schemes. Don't feel stuck! I think the world has gone a bit mad chasing "dark mode" for text everywhere. This must be highly personal, but light themes really reduce the fatigue on my eyes, and I've always found them preferable too. Maybe it's really the dark mode people who are stuck? If you like solarized light, you might want to try gruvbox light [0], which I find even easier on the eyes. [0] https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

I loved solarized when it was new (to me). But after several years, I couldn't stand looking at those blue tones all day. I switched (in vim) to gruvbox [0] (better maintained "community" edition [1]), which also has a dark and a light version, which is a lot warmer. 0: https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox 1: https://github.com/gruvbox-community/gruvbox thanks, hatsubishi, for pointing out the typo in the second link!

Gruvbox [https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox] has always seemed quite similar to me, particularly in its light modes.

You might like one of the lighter gruvbox variations: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e814989a4842426cbafd88f51... https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

Guilty [1]. But it's really hard to handle both light and dark color themes! On a dark terminal you're probably more likely to use the "Bright" variants when using the default 16 color palette, but then you'll have less contrast in a light theme. Some color schemes intentionally invert the "bright" colors and makes them darker for a light colored scheme. This is what Gruvbox [2] does, but most other palettes don't. I also have an issue with Solarized which makes some of the Bright colors almost exactly the same as the foreground or background, which can make text printed in certain colors seem invisible. I've used ANSI codes to invert colors (which works pretty well for highlighting), and dim colors, but those can't solve everything.

I'm not a fan of Solarized either, but really like Gruvbox. It is somewhat similar to Solarized, but with plenty of contrast and a not-blue dark background. https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox But looking back at Solarized, I can't see why I used to dislike it so much (low contrast) - perhaps it's because I now have a HiDPI screen which can more precisely render the text apart from the background?

I used solarized exclusively for several years in text editors and the terminal. But after some years I couldn't stand looking at those blue-ish hues all day. Nowadays I use gruvbox [1] the text editor (but still stick to solarized in the terminal). Gruvbox really is a nice change with it's orange and brown, warm colors, I cannot recommend it enough.

I usually use Gruvbox [1] [1] https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox (edit: format)

gruvbox theme for Vim is very similar. https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox
