Zenburn

A port of the venerable Zenburn colorscheme to lua.

Zenburn is a low-contrast color scheme for Vim. It’s easy for your eyes and designed to keep you in the zone for long programming sessions.

The aim of this port is to bring Zenburn into the modern age, with support for Treesitter and many more plugins.

Installation

Using your favorite package manager:

vim-plug

Plug "phha/zenburn.nvim"

    "phha/zenburn.nvim",

    "phha/zenburn.nvim";
}

Contributing

Pull requests are always welcome, especially for additional plugins. Please include one or more screenshots showcasing your contribution.

Zenburn already has a rather large palette. I'm trying to avoid color bloat, so please don't add any new colors if at all possible and refer to existing ones instead.
