Can you link to your Vim colorschemes? I have a light and a dark one that I hacked over the years but I'm always looking for new ones.

My latest, "zaibatsu" is bundled with Vim.
- Apprentice, a low-contrast colorscheme I made years ago and used for a long time: https://github.com/romainl/Apprentice.
- Malotru, my curent colorscheme, more contrasted: https://github.com/romainl/vim-malotru.
- Dichromatic, for colorblind users: https://github.com/romainl/vim-dichromatic.
- Bruin, which only uses typography: https://git.sr.ht/~romainl/vim-bruin
Nice work. Apprentice looks great. Thanks for the links.
Can you share your light one? I've never been able to find a white background scheme I actually love, rather than tolerate...
I prefer my background dark so light colorschemes are not really an area I've explored seriously. Also, dark colorschemes are much easier to design than light ones due to the disproportionate amount of light a white, say, background emits compared to the amount emitted by text. It dramatically reduces the number of colors you can use.
I have one here: https://github.com/romainl/vim-sweet16 but it is intentionally weird and essentially unmaintained.

We have many millenia of books using black text on a white background with various colors added, why are computer monitors all of a sudden so special and annoying
