description: A generalization of solarized.

description: I tried to keep the same fundamentals and to free some variables.

After many years using

Solarized

I changed to a new one.

I use it for my terminal, emacs and most of my tools.

This is inspired by both

Solarized

and

Nord

I switched because I wanted a greyer theme.

Ethan Shoovnover the creator of Solarized gave plenty of information about

the creation of his colorscheme.

And I stumbled upon the

Nord

theme.

And I really liked it.

But while the colors are great, it is not as easy to switch from light to

dark theme than with solarized because Solarized has a lot of nice

properties.

So I kept the main principle used to create Solarized but freed a few parameters.

The tint of the dark and light colors for the background and the text, as

well as the contrast of the colors.

And I created this minimal application in Purescript:

https://solaryzed.esy.fun

It is still not perfect, because the real theme I use for my website as a

slightly bigger contrast for text.

Here is the CSS you could use:

______html

<style>#colors div {

display: inline-block;

height: 50.0px;

width: 50.0px;

margin: 2px 0;

font-weight: bold;

line-height: 50.0px;

text-align: center; }

#colors { padding: 10px; margin: 10px 0; }

</style>

<div id="colors">
