I went gruvbox some years ago and now cannot live without it. I’m using a base16 variant of it.

I love and use gruvbox too! Do you have a pointer to the base16 version of it, or did you hand-tweak/make it yourself?

I'm a huge fan of the base16 color schemes - not for their appearance (though most look great), but for their ease of integration within the shell and vim. Just clone the repos below, drop a few lines in your shellrc/vimrc, then use a single bash command to change the scheme in both. No more mucking with Xresources. https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim

Over recent years I've been drawn to the cross-tool themes like Nord and Dracula. https://www.nordtheme.com/ https://draculatheme.com/ Having consistency between neovim, fzf, bat, tmux, tig and fish is lovely.

I achieve that same consistency with virtually zero configuration by simply setting the colors in my terminal and forgetting about it. Stopped all the fiddling with color schemes quite a while ago.

Absolutely love Gruvbox, switched to it a couple of years back after seeing the founder of the company used it and haven’t looked back. Highlights all the right things and the colours are excellent.

The one I use is from this repo: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim, which is built on the "base16 system" https://github.com/chriskempson/base16.
