vim-colors-off#

This is very much a work in progress

For a number of weeks, I ran vim with syntax off. It was quite nice, with only two annoyances:

• Bright white on jet black was a bit off-putting.
• There were cases when I did miss the lack of color, vimdiff for example.

Therefore, I aimed to find or create a colorscheme to solve these two issues.

The result is very much based on the pencil colorscheme, which is surprising because it's a very colorful colorscheme, but:

• It uses a very sane approach to defining and setting colors
• It has nice background and foreground colors
• In the areas where I do want color, I like how it colors things

Not super exciting...

Installation#

• Use Vundle
• Add "pbrisbin/vim-colors-off" as a plugin

Usage#

:colorscheme off

Supports both background=light and background=dark. I use dark, so that will always be the more tested.
