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.

Does dark themes lets your focus more than light themes?

In a way, yes.

For me, using light-themed software for a prolonged period causes my eyes to strain and my head to ache. Sure, they do so to a very little extent, but the uncomfort is often distracting if not tempting me to slack off.

So for me, yes, dark themes help me get in the zone much easier. But of course that has very little to do of the colors scheme itself.
