You think that’s a bold statement? Hear me out. Vim themes are great, but you (and most certainly I) spend way too much time downloading and trying out all these fancy new themes, right? At some point I came across this base16-vim plugin which has a shit-load of cool themes, all using a base of 16 colors. I haven’t looked back since. Well, maybe once of twice, but still, I’m sticking to it.
Base16-vim contains 128 different themes, and it has all the popular ones like the github theme, solarized (dark & light), monokai, gruvbox and many more. To avoid spending too much time trying them all out, here are some examples of the ones I like the best. If you want to try them in a browser, check out the previews to find the perfect one for your setup.
Be sure to check out the geeky base16-greenscreen theme, it’s awesome.
