Poll: Colorscheme Writers, please indicate nice colorschemes that you want to have distributed with Vim #4996

I think that nothing that has configuration settings should be accepted. |
Some sort of "colorblind" category is missing. |
Hm, I don't think this is a hard requirement. As long as this is documented this might be okay. Even better would be, if the default looks sane to most people ;) |
That is actually a good suggestion. Are there any good colorschemes for colorblind people? |
I'm not the one to tell, but https://github.com/romainl/vim-dichromatic seems well researched and I installed it just in case. And this one https://github.com/PierreCapo/voir.vim is made by a colorblind person. |

It's possible that the collection of colorschemes themselves would play nicely to the various forms of colorblindness. I'm not informed in this area, but I see that there are four common groupings of color processing (including Normal): I'd be curious what existing default schemes people use that are colorblind, not to mention new ones |
I am responsible for adding that check. The rationale is the same as for the filetype check: Regarding this and the filetype check: the Other than that, I agree with @romainl's points.

What really ought to be fixed is the way vim falls apart when you switch from a customized theme to a more conservative one. |
The above wasn't meant as a personal attack, but I see that it was expressed poorly. What I meant is, as there may potentially be many replies, and each reply should provide the detailed information you have provided, this thread may become very long. That's why I was suggesting that a dedicated repository might be a better idea.

There are many kinds of color blindness, thus it might be difficult to
have one "color-blind" colorscheme. It might work to have a
high-contrast colorscheme, that works for many kinds of problems with
color. It's something that looks awful to normal people, but much more
readable to people with different kinds of eye problems.

@brammool, how do you suggest we figure this out?
We tried to select colorschemes before, and we didn't get to a
conclusion. Also, discussing all goals and all color schemes with all
users it going to be an awful lot of communication.
How about we select a committee, a small group of Vim uses who care
about this, have some ideas and can judge color schemes. Perhaps create
a system to judge the quality of color schemes and give feedback to
authors.
This avoids that we have a worldwide discussion that will quickly die
because it contains too many opinions, ideas and noise.

There are three types of color blindness. Of the two colorschemes mentioned earlier, voir and dichromatic, dichomatic addresses all three by using a palette defined by previous academic research, and voir is made by a color blind vimmer though I'm not sure what type of color blindness he has. I believe we can have colorschemes that works for color blind and non-color-blind users. |
Agreed.
It looks like at least some of those users have auto-appointed themselves.
The workflow suggested by @lifepillar sounds good to me:
Agreed. |

@brammool, do you think we could move forward on this subject? |

I haven't seen much activity on this, unfortunately.

This is a followup to #1665 and the related issues. Unfortunately not much happened and we still haven't decided on nice new colorschemes to distribute with Vim. I apologize it took so long, but apparently deciding on which colorschemes to use is not so easy 😕
So in order to move this topic forward, I'd like to ask colorscheme writers who want their colorschemes distributed with Vim to mention this here.
All others, please indicate by voting if you like this particular scheme.
However, in order to distribute your colorscheme, the following points should be taken into account:
background
setting, please indicate so (bonus points for supportinglight
anddark
values ;)termgui
setting) and gui settings, so we can judge how it looks like with 256color terminals and in the gui. I assume thetermgui
setting will make the console look like the gui version).Now I realize the categories are kind of personal taste, but we only intend to package a couple of nice colorschemes. So this is basically to limits the number of colorschemes to be distributed so that users that install Vim are not easily overwhelmed by the amount of packaged colorschemes and provides an indication to the users what kind of colorscheme this is.
In any case, you will always be able to install additional colorschemes using packages (e.g. the well-known https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes).
I hope we find some nice looking colorschemes that we can include with Vim.
