Neovim port of the Doric themes from GNU Emacs
I’ve been a fan of Protesilaos’ Emacs themes and have used the Neovim port of the Modus themes in the past, but I’ve preferred more toned down colourschemes for a while. The doric themes use few colours while still being easy to use for hours at a time throughout the day. From the original project:
The Doric themes use few colours and will appear monochromatic in many contexts. They are my most minimalist themes. Styles involve the careful use of typographic features and subtleties in colour gradients to establish a consistent rhythm.
The theme has 18 variants (9 light and 9 dark). See the Screenshots below for all the variants, and check the Github repo for installation and configuration options.
In the repo I mention adding support for more plugins in the future. However, most modern plugins do a good job at inheriting relevant highlight groups, so I may leave it as a minimal plugin to go with the minimal nature of the colourscheme itself.
