## What it is
Jellybeans is a colorful, dark color scheme for the Vim text editor, inspired by ir_black and twilight. It supports graphical Vim as well as 24-bit, 256, 88, 16, and 8 color terminals, with customizable highlight overrides.

## Use cases
- dark color scheme for vim
- make vim easier on the eyes at night
- customize vim syntax highlighting colors
- colorscheme that works in 256-color terminals
- vim theme with transparent background support

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want a popular, well-established dark theme
- you need a colorscheme that degrades gracefully across many terminal color modes
- you want to tweak individual highlight colors without editing the theme file

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor without a Jellybeans port
- you want a light color scheme
- you need actively developed features - the last release was 2020

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: theme, editor
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: vim, colorscheme, dark-theme, syntax-highlighting, terminal-colors
