Tao is a natural & beautiful grayscale color theme for Emacs. Its palette is generated by the golden-mean.

Tao will be available in [MELPA] (http://melpa.milkbox.net).

You can install tao with the following command:

M-x package-install tao-theme

Alternatively you can clone this repository, and then:

M-x package-install-file tao-theme

M-x load-theme tao-yin

M-x load-theme tao-yang

If your Emacs looks considerably uglier in a terminal (compared to the GUI version) try adding this to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

export TERM=xterm-256color

Source the .bashrc(.zshrc) file and start Emacs again.
