I don't like this scheme and I don't buy the pseudo-science blurb. It's based on shades of blue. Our eyes are the least sensitive to blue. And what's up with the red and pink, is this some cruel joke? I'll stick with Zenburn[1]. [1] http://slinky.imukuppi.org/zenburn/

Zenburn is easy on the eyes but doesn't offer enough contrast.

I love the Railscasts theme (http://railscasts.com/episodes/258-token-fields for example), which is what I usually use with Emacs.

For iTerm2 I copied over the colors from Visor.app's theme.. but Solarized looks really nice, so maybe I'll soon be using that instead.

After years of dark colorschemes, I'm loving vim-github-theme[1].

Its really rare to see that much thought going into the aesthetics of stereotypically "geeky" applications like vim and terminals, even the website looks entirely different from pretty much every website I have seen around these tools its a refreshing change, awesome work

Thanks very much. Looking back at my early hg repos on this project I refined it for about six months.

As an aside. I have a nominal post in my head contrasting the development and refinement of a colorscheme like this vs the infamous 41 shades of blue. There is room for refinement and testing in design, but I think it has to be coupled with a clear design goals and opinions.

It would be nice to have a script that would start with this as a base, but let you tune the contrast. I like the theme, but would like more contrast than this (I use small fonts, and I really feel like more contrast is necessary when doing so).

fwiw, there is a high contrast option in the vim colorscheme (let g:solarized_contrast="high").

I'm working on cleaning up some of the build scripts that generated specific files (the mutt directory has an ugly shell script as an example, there are better ways of course).
