Not right in the sun; + that's too bright. I'll hunt for a shady spot under a tree. The shaded + paper contrasts with the crisp text nicely. If you were to actually measure + the contrast between the two, you'd find it is much lower than black text + on a white background (or white on black) on your display device of choice. + Black text on white from a computer display is akin to reading a book in + direct sunlight and tires the eye. + + ![solarized selective contrast](https://github.com/altercation/solarized/raw/master/img/solarized-selcon.png)\ + + Solarized reduces *brightness contrast* but, unlike many low contrast + colorschemes, retains *contrasting hues* (based on colorwheel relations) + for syntax highlighting readability. + +2. **Both sides of the force** + + ![solarized dualmode](https://github.com/altercation/solarized/raw/master/img/solarized-dualmode.png)\ + + I often switch between dark and light modes when editing text and code. + 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 palettes](https://github.com/altercation/solarized/raw/master/img/solarized-165.png)\ + + Solarized works as a sixteen color palette for compatibility with common + terminal based applications / emulators. In addition, it has been carefull + designed to scale down to a variety of five color palettes (four base + monotones plus one accent color) for use in design work such as web design. + In every case it retains a strong personality but doesn't overwhelm. + +5. **Precision, symmetry** + + ![solarized symmetry](https://github.com/altercation/solarized/raw/master/img/solarized-sym.png)\ + + The monotones have symmetric CIELAB lightness differences, so switching + from dark to light mode retains the same perceived contrast in brightness + between each value. Each mode is equally readable. The accent colors are + based off specific colorwheel relations and subsequently translated to + CIELAB to ensure perceptual uniformity in terms of lightness. The hues + themselves, as with the monotone \*a\*b values, have been adjusted within + a small range to achieve the most pleasing combination of colors. + + This makes colorscheme inversion trivial. Here, for instance, is a sass + (scss) snippet that inverts solarized based on the class of the html tag + (e.g. `` to give a dark background with red accent): + + $base03: #002b36; + $base02: #073642; + $base01: #586e75; + $base00: #657b83; + $base0: #839496; + $base1: #93a1a1; + $base2: #eee8d5; + $base3: #fdf6e3; + $yellow: #b58900; + $orange: #cb4b16; + $red: #d30102; + $magenta: #d33682; + $violet: #6c71c4; + $blue: #268bd2; + $cyan: #2aa198; + $green: #859900; + @mixin rebase($rebase03,$rebase02,$rebase01,$rebase00,$rebase0,$rebase1,$rebase2,$rebase3) + { + background-color:$rebase03; + color:$rebase0; + * { color:$rebase0; } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { color:$rebase1; border-color: $rebase0; } + a, a:active, a:visited { color: $rebase1; } + } + @mixin accentize($accent) { + a, a:active, a:visited, code.url { color: $accent; } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {color:$accent} + } + /* light is default mode, so pair with general html definition */ + html, .light { @include rebase($base3,$base2,$base1,$base0,$base00,$base01,$base02,$base03)} + .dark { @include rebase($base03,$base02,$base01,$base00,$base0,$base1,$base2,$base3)} + html * { + color-profile: sRGB; + rendering-intent: auto; + } + +Installation +------------ + +Installation instructions for each version of the colorscheme are included in +the subdirectory README files.
