Terminal Ansi Colors twisted? about zenburn HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

it's not a stupid question and I don't have a clue about proper color design either :)

The terminal_ansi_colors is a new thing for Vim 8.2+, meant for the Vim :terminal command to make it look more Zenburn-like. It's not really meant for a general purpose terminal theme.

To my understanding, terminal colors are just made to look nice. Maybe there's some underlying big idea in some standards base, like "directories shall be blue", but I don't know of it.

Also, the light/dark separation does not carry information that I know of. For example, directory names could be light blue but then dark blue might turn up for some type of file like .mp4. In Linux there's a command called dircolors which defines this color setup used by the ls command and it can be changed by the user as they see fit. Try dircolors --print-database to see some details.

The double #dfe4cf in the terminal_ansi_colors is probably because the color 14 was not visible anywhere in the :terminal, so I left a default/copy-paste value to that color. It should probably be changed but hard to say how.

I'd suggest to reuse the Kitty theme you found and/or the Vim terminal_ansi_colors and if you like the overall palette (right colours, wrong order)... maybe just swap colors around until the result looks nice.

Thanks for your Feedback. You are right I could just take similar colors that are nice. It's more a sway ricing thing that I want to work with one set of colors matching up and setting them in all config files.
