Penumbra

Looks nice. Fancy justification too. Are you claiming it's a significant improvement over Solarised? Either way, good stuff.

I’m actually working on another project where I’m trying to design fully optimized categorical colour palettes for people with colour vision deficiency, so I’m fully aware of…

Yes, I’ve even updated the README to specify that accessibility for colour blindness is sadly impossible with these design goals and that they even make the palette particularly…

This looks like an almost carbon copy of the research done for Solarized. "Great"

As I said below, I can totally see how taking the opposite approach of making different keywords more or less salient could be just as valid, if you prefer this over having an…

I feel like you have kind of missed the point here. I am doing everything else extra to make up for the lack of contrast in luminance if you read the documentation, but of course…

Good catch, that is an issue with the VSCode extension, apparently it’s using the colour for comments (which is purposefully low contrast) for plain text when it should be using…

I gave it a try, and in plain text files, it seems way too low contrast: [screenshot](https://i.postimg.cc/65Xcx9Cv/Screenshot-20220804-161004.png).

If anyone is keen on making some vim colorschemes based off of this, you might like romainl's colorscheme template: https://github.com/romainl/vim-rnb > RNB is a template…

I’m not a vim user but I’ll make a note of this in case I get around to implementing it myself. Realistically I would definitely need to work off of a template like this. Thanks!

That’s the point though, these colours are great because they have (almost) uniform perceptual differences and that is what I was aiming for. Of course this means that “yellow”…

Very interesting to see this, because a few days ago I started using a theme that takes the complete opposite approach: limited hue range, but wide luminance range.…

Zenbones allows to define custom color schemes by providing just a few base colours and overrides. You could try creating one based on penumbra to have both lightness contrast…

Just on the last point, I’d be interested to know what scientific ways to construct CVD-friendly colour maps you mean. I’m aware of all the continuous colour maps for…

I acknowledge at the bottom that Solarised was one of the inspirations for this and some similar design principles apply in terms of the background colours, but really the…

Many differences to my attempt: Luminance is kept different between colours according to some subjective “individuality”, I touched on why I decided against this in another…

If you care about accessibility and these colours have any sort of function or meaning within the app, I’m afraid I would advise against using these colours as they were created…

The saturation (or to be more accurate in this case, chroma) is actually already as high as possible (unless I’ve made a fundamental mistake) given the constraint that we want it…
