Mellow

A warm, minimalist light colorscheme for (neo)vim

palette

Plug 'adigitoleo/vim-mellow'

Note for terminal users: This theme requires 24-bit RGB color support. If your terminal is compatible, enable RGB colors via :set termguicolors

Screenshots

Do you want a statusline as well? Try the mellow statusline!

Installation

If you use a vim plugin manager (recommended), consult the relevant documentation. Here are some links to popular plugin managers:

For manual installation, download the files from GitHub and put the colors folder inside:

  • ~/.vim/ (vim users)
  • ~/.config/nvim/ (neovim users)

Usage

To apply commands at startup, add them to the end of your configuration file (see :help vimrc).

:set termguicolors
:colorscheme mellow

You can omit the termguicolors part if you are running (neo)vim in a GUI.

If it doesn't look right, it probably isn't. If you're sure you are running in a compatible terminal, read :help 'termguicolors' and :help xterm-true-color before opening an issue.

Options

Use mellow color palette in the embedded terminal:

  • enabled (1) by default if your (neo)vim has the terminal feature
  • :let g:mellow_terminal_colors = 0 to disable

Customization

To make small changes to a colorscheme, use autocommands (see :help autocmd). For example, to make line numbering use the normal background color:

augroup fix_colors
    autocmd!
    autocmd ColorScheme mellow hi LineNr guibg=None
    autocmd ColorScheme mellow hi CursorLineNr guibg=None
augroup END

Miscellaneous

This theme was first motivated by a lack of bg=light option in vim-farout, which uses a similar palette in a completely different arrangement. I wanted a light theme with moderate contrast and warm colors, that didn't make me want to change every single syntax file. To me, mellow lies mid-way between :syntax off and popular themes like solarized or gruvbox.

And that's just the way I like it :)

Since the theme uses only 16 colors, you can use the same palette in your terminal of choice. For example, for alacritty I use:

colors:
    primary:
        background: '#f2ddbc'
        foreground: '#0f0908'

    normal:
        black:      '#0f0908'
        red:        '#af0032'
        green:      '#4c6e25'
        yellow:     '#a67458'
        blue:       '#573e55'
        magenta:    '#66292f'
        cyan:       '#bf472c'
        white:      '#e0ccae'

    bright:
        black:      '#291916'
        red:        '#ff7477'
        green:      '#84bf40'
        yellow:     '#f5bb89'
        blue:       '#8a7b85'
        magenta:    '#8a4b53'
        cyan:       '#d47d49'
        white:      '#f2ddbc'

Consult the relevant documentation for how to set this up in other programs.

Add Lightline support

There has been some interest in support for airline and lightline, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/itqhs9/mellow_a_bglight_theme_and_statusline_combo/gav0m9h?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3.

They are quite popular plugins and it would be nice to support them. This issue is open for discussion about how to do it. I think it could be part of this plugin rather than pushed to the airline/lightline repos, since that might be easier to maintain.

It will be worth checking how others have done this, e.g.:

Other examples/templates welcome.

Dark mode support

Dark mode teaser:

2020-09-17_121308_014006154

I will try to use the existing palette as much as possible, but some of the darker colors will eventually need to be replaced. So the dark theme will probably get its own 16 colors.

Inspiration and alternatives:

  • vim-farout
  • yuejiu
  • colibri - it's very purple, but the contrast/lack of really bright colors is nicei
  • aerique - for emacs, maybe it has vim support?
  • alduin
  • ... (there are many dark themes, I will need to hunt for the minimalist ones)

  • [ ] neovim (need to test on neovim)

Make sure it works with lighline as well.

Neovim RGB (truecolor) `:term` colors.

The embedded terminal in neovim (TUI) is still using a 256 color palette, even when inside a fully RGB terminal [1]. This means that various TUI programs could look weird when run inside neovim. This happens regardless of set termguicolors. I found that this is a known issue, which is reported to be solved for neovim 0.5 (nightly): https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/7018

In fact, :help termopen() even says:

termopen({cmd}[, {opts}])			*termopen()*
		Spawns {cmd} in a new pseudo-terminal session connected
		to the current buffer. [...]

		The {opts} dict is similar to the one passed to |jobstart()|,
		but [...] `$TERM` is set to "xterm-256color". [...]

The workaround for right now is to run export TERM=<your-RGB-terminal>, which results in the correct colors. I currently use the following construct in $MYVIMRC which automatically forces the correct $TERM setting for neovim v0.4.4 embedded terminals (use :Terminal instead of :terminal to launch them):

function! StartTUI(prog, ...) abort "{{{2
    " Execute a TUI program a:prog with optional arguments using termopen().
    " Forces the embedded terminal to inherit $TERM from the parent neovim instance.
    if executable(a:prog)
        let l:cmdstr = a:0 ? join(extend([a:prog], a:000)) : a:prog
        exec 'enew'
        call termopen('export TERM=' .. $TERM .. '&& ' .. l:cmdstr)
    endif
endfunction

command! -nargs=* Terminal if strlen(<q-args>) > 0 | call StartTUI($SHELL, <f-args>)
            \ | else | call StartTUI($SHELL) | endif

[1]: The screenshots below show the output of msgcat --color=test|head -11 in alacritty (truecolor, above) and the embedded terminal (below).

Lightline mellow theme

TODO

  • [x] Light theme
  • [x] Dark theme

If there is anything you want to change, let me know. closes #6

TODO v1.0.0

Dark mode improvements

  • [x] Fix foreground 4 (#805B7D = terminal "blue"): it is still too dark, since it's only used for SpellRare and User9 the fix will probably only be noticable in the terminal.
  • [x] ~~Consider changing foreground 5 (#66292F = terminal "magenta"): it also looks dark in the terminal, but was kept from the light theme to have a consistent statusline. The fix will be more difficult in this case, because it needs to avoid clashes with light magenta (terminal 13, #8A4B53) if it is meant to be used for visual selection (of comments).~~ Won't fix: in both light and dark modes, one of the colors has compromised visibility since it is related to the coloring of comments.
  • [x] Better Diff* colors, e.g. more distinct DiffDelete

General improvements

  • [x] ~~Implement airline/lightline support, either internally or via snippets in a wiki~~ can't find easy templates on how to do this and am not willing to dive in at the moment
  • [x] User2 (reversed StatusLine) is not used in vim-mellow-statusline, and User1 is also not needed if StatusLine gets a gui=bold attribute. ~~These could be used to provide optional inline warning/error highlights (e.g. for ALE via hi link's)~~ Used for more statusline colors.
  • [x] ~~Consider adding options for contrast variation (requires new low/high contrast palettes, probably too much work for v1)~~ Doesn't make much sense, contrast should be controlled at the global graphical scope.
