alt Hacker NewsI made the "Aardvark Blue" a while back[1] to solve some of the problems that most color schemes have. The goal of this theme is that:
- colors are fairly natural
- background and black are distinct
- grays are naturally ordered avoiding full black
- light and dark colors are distinct from each other
- all colors look good on background, black, dark gray, gray, white
We use this for all the screenshots on https://ratatui.rs and https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui
It's available from the usual places https://iterm2colorschemes.com/, https://windowsterminalthemes.dev/?theme=Aardvark%20Blue, built in to ghostty, extension for vscode etc.

Funny thing, those are not "the usual places" I've ever heard of, and I care somewhat about color schemes. Each of us lives in our own bubble... (my bubble is not iterm2 and not windows)
