What
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solarized is a 16 color palette with several unique properties. It has been
|
|
|
|
|
designed with both precise L\*A\*B lightness relationships and a refined set of
|
|
|
|
|
hues based on fixed color wheel relationships. It has been tested extensively
|
|
|
|
|
in real world use on color calibrated displays and in a variety of lighting
|
|
|
|
|
conditions.

Features

|
--------

|
|
|
1. **Selective contrast**
|
2011-03-18 22:53:58 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solarized reduces brightness based contrast in general. Our display devices
|
2011-03-18 22:46:09 +01:00
|
|
|
today are capable of blasting off your retina with brightness and I found
|
|
|
|
|
my eyes growing tired using high contrast colorschemes. Solarized reduces
|
|
|
|
|
brightness contrast but, unlike many low contrast colorschemes, retains
|
|
|
|
|
contrasting hues (based on colorwheel relations) for syntax highlighting
|
|
|
|
|
readability.

|
|
|
2. **Dual mode: Dark/Light**
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-18 22:53:58 +01:00
|
|
|
I switch between dark and light modes when editing text even when editing
|
|
|
|
|
different types of files. Solarized retains the same selective contrast
|
|
|
|
|
relationships and overall feel when switching between the light and dark
|
|
|
|
|
background modes. A *lot* of thought, planning and testing has gone into
|
|
|
|
|
making both modes feel like part of a unified colorscheme.

3. **16/5 Palette modes**
|
|
|

|
|
|
Solarized works as a sixteen color palette for compatibility with comment
|
|
|
|
|
terminal based applications / emulators. It has been designed to scale down
|
|
|
|
|
to a variety of five color palettes (four base monotones and one accent
|
|
|
|
|
color) for use in design work, such as web development.
