Humdrum 🩶💤

A quiet Vim colorscheme for people who like their editor a little dull.

Humdrum splits the world in two: code is rendered completely desaturated, while interactive messages use color for warnings, errors, highlights, completion, and other editor feedback. The result is a simple visual hierarchy instead of color anarchy.

It includes dark and light variants, lightline support, and a few practical plugin highlights (FZF, LSP, Lightline, Easymotion, ALE, COC, Markdown...).

Plugin support follows what I use day to day, and contributions are welcome.

Install

With vim-plug:

Plug 'xpac27/humdrum.vim'

Then:

colorscheme humdrum

Light Mode (WIP)

Humdrum follows Vim's background option:

set background=light
colorscheme humdrum

Use set background=dark for the default dark palette.

Options

let g:humdrum_emphasize_comments = 1
let g:humdrum_emphasize_whitespace = 1

Both default to 0.

Inspiration

Humdrum is inspired by vim-monotone.
