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 am using https://github.com/RRethy/nvim-base16 for neovim.

I tend to switch between colour schemes depending on the conditions. During the day, I prefer Gruvbox light soft; at night, I prefer Solarized dark. When using my laptop screen (and some other times too), I find Emacs default colours best. I really don’t see the point of sticking with just one colour scheme, disregarding the surrounding environment.

After playing around with color schemes for over a decade and never really being satisfied, I made my own palette that is pretty close to the ANSI color scheme, just with more attractive shades that I copied from things like subway systems and public safety stuff (fire trucks and school busses) since so much research goes into colors being clear and unmistakable in varying conditions of weather or cleanliness.

Can you share that with us? Seems interesting

Seems like it would be worthy of contributing to this site.

If it's possible, would you please post a screenshot of how this looks? Not sure how to easily see this, and don't want to learn how unless I know I'll like it.

Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

oh man dracula is so good. just installed on my vscode. 25 years with vim...all the way with vscode now

You switched from VIM to VS Code? How was that transition?

VS Code is my vim.

I use VSCode NeoVim and clangd and a few other extensions. I've used a ton of vims and vim apps, but I'm just done with tweaking editors now. I'm happy with this setup.

My color theme is Light (Visual Studio). I like it but then color themes are personal choices.
