I was interested in seeing what the colour palettes might look like in the real world. Here's are the some multicolr searches for the 5-colour palettes:

A search with just the base colours:

I haven't looked into how one can export gnome-terminal color palettes yet, but if anyone else is interested, I think these are the correct settings in gconf: /apps/gnome-terminal/palette: #070736364242:#D3D336368282:#B5B589890000:#CBCB4B4B1616:#2A2AA1A19898:#6C6C7171C4C4:#858599990000:#EEEEE8E8D5D5:#00002B2B3636:#D3D301010202:#58586E6E7575:#65657B7B8383:#838394949696:#26268B8BD2D2:#9393A1A1A1A1:#FDFDF6F6E3E3 /apps/g…

Ok, I think I had this wrong and it looks like I've hit a limit on editing my post. Here's the right values (I hope):

(All values are in /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default):

    palette: #070736364242:#D3D301010202:#858599990000:#B5B589890000:#26268B8BD2D2:#D3D336368282:#2A2AA1A19898:#EEEEE8E8D5D5:#00002B2B3636:#CBCB4B4B1616:#58586E6E7575:#65657B7B8383:#838394949696:#6C6C7171C4C4:#9393A1A1A1A1:#FDFDF6F6E3E3

I don't know about the rest of you, but my eyes literally started to hurt when I read the text on that page, presumably because of the color of the text v. background. Doesn't bode well for using it in vim... Maybe it looks better on a different monitor? (I have a Samsung LCD.)

You may need to enable ClearType. If on Windows XP. Display Properties > Appearance > Effects

I'm on Mac OSX; is there an equivalent?

What browser are you using? It looks great to me here in Chrome and Safari.

Chrome on Mac.

Any chance for gedit and gnome terminal versions? Fantastic scheme, would donate my kidney for a gedit port

Man, I love those sets. Hadn't used that site before but it's awesome. Very nice to see the stark ocean and ink in water in the last set. Not too far off from the deep ocean feel I was targeting during design.

Thanks. Great links.

I tried to install the iTerm2 colorscheme and also the vim colorscheme, but they look nowhere near the screenshots. Anyone having issues like this?

My vim renders everything way darker (or perhaps is just that there is not as much contrast) than in the screenshots. I double checked that I am using xterm-256color (and also checked against rxvt-unicode-256color). It's too bad, I really like how it looks in your screenshots, but in my computer not so much...

Any chance of publishing the Xresources version (or at least hex codes in that file) for the "white" version?

It's here - https://github.com/altercation/solarized/blob/master/xresour...

That's the dark version.

Am I the only person on HN that just happily uses the default color schemes that comes with editors?

Agreed. It's definitely not high enough contrast for such a thin font.
