Spectral.vim

A better way to create colorschemes in Neovim.

Description

Spectral is an easy way to create beautiful Vim colorschemes. The user only needs to focus on building a colorscheme using true colors and Spectral will do the rest!

Spectral will

  • Provide powerful utilities to operate on colors to mix and match them relative to each other.
  • Generate the cterm colors using the Python colormath library so your colorscheme will look just as great on a 256-color terminal!
  • Generate the highlights for the complimentary background setting by flipping the brightness using the Python colormath library, so your colorscheme will look great as both a light and dark colorscheme! (Manual overrides totally possible, too!)
  • Compile the colorscheme to make it blazing fast on reloads. (It is slow on first time loads, I'll grant)

Dependencies

This requires the colormath Python library. Install it with Pip!

$ pip install colormath

Caveats

Spectral is only really tested using Neovim. There's no reason it shouldn't work on Vim, but I use Neovim.
