description
Light and Dark color scheme for terminal and graphic Vim awesome editor.

Support GUI-color and identical 256-color.
Also gracefully down to 16-color terminal, which will use terminal native colors.
In 8-color and 4-color, it might lack the necessary variation of colors to express PaperColor, but seriously let me know if you still use these kinds of terminals.

There are many configurable options such as color overriding.

Inspired by Google's Material Design

Improve code readability; great for presentation

Currently designed for these languages:

+ Haskell, Erlang, Elixir, Clojure, Elm, Purescript, F#
+ C, C++, Golang, Rust, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Pascal, PHP, Perl, LUA
+ DTrace, SystemTap, SQL/MySQL, Octave/MATLAB, R, Lex/Flex & Yacc/Bison, ASN.1, Assembly (MIPS, GAS, NASM), Bash/Shell script, Sed, Awk, Vim script, + Powershell script
+ Dockerfile, Makefile, CMake, NGINX, Cucumber, YAML, JSON, HTML, XML, Markdown, reStructuredText, PlantUML, Dosini, Mail, Git commit message
+ Ada, COBOL, Fortran, ALGOL, (what's your other favorite dinosaur?)


Other file types can still display well as long as your Vim is set up to recognize the language syntax even though that may not be the optimal experience. So, if the language you are working on isn't listed here, feel free to make a design request.

Plugin support: vimdiff, netrw, NERDTree, tagbar, tabline, vim-airline, vim-indent-guides, vim-startify, AGit
