I was investigating why there aren’t colors in the pagers as used by Mutt when I stumbled over the Solarized color schemes for stuff. I had seen these in the past, but ignored them because I was trying to stick to mostly built-in Vim features. Now that I’m slurping up all kinds of addons for Vim, I revisited the topic.
First, using Vim 8’s spiffy plugin features:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/solarized/start/ cd ~/.vim/pack/solarized/start/ git clone https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized
They look really nice, provided some things are set in my ~/.vimrc, specifically:
let g:solarized_termcolors=256 colorscheme solarized
Depending on the setup, it may be necessary to set it to dark, too…
" Some colorsets are better about contrast if they know the terminal is dark. set background=dark
The Solarized color scheme for Mutt looks even nicer, but you’ll have to take my word for it as I’m unable to safely post a screenshot of that.
But here’s how I set that up:
cd ~/.config/mutt/ git clone https://github.com/altercation/mutt-colors-solarized echo source `pwd`/mutt-colors-solarized/mutt-colors-solarized-dark-256.muttrc >> muttrc
