Introduction:

Sometimes I need a high contrast color scheme, and I think monokai is one of the best solutions, it's very beautiful and vivid.

However there is one thing I can't stand -- the contrast is too high, which is totally unacceptable for me.

This color scheme is based on [Monokai Pro](https://monokai.pro/vscode), the contrast is adjusted to be a bit lower while keeping the colors vivid enough.

The `shusia`, `maia` and `espresso` variants are basically modified versions of Monokai Pro. I'm not going to port all variants of Monokai Pro because I don't like some of them. In addition, I designed some new variants inspired by other color schemes.

Features:

1. High contrast but within acceptable range.
2. Vivid colors.
3. Highly customizable.
4. Rich support for common file types and plugins.
5. Semantic highlighting support.
6. Tree-sitter support.
7. [Italic support](https://github.com/sainnhe/icursive-nerd-font) 🎉

See `:help sonokai.txt` for more information.
