## What it is
Lush is a Neovim plugin that aids in creating colorschemes with real-time feedback as you edit, plus color manipulation tools and a structured DSL in Lua. Colorschemes can be exported to Lua tables, vimscript, or other formats for use without Lush.

## Use cases
- create a custom neovim colorscheme
- design a colorscheme with live preview
- export a neovim colorscheme to vimscript or lua
- manipulate and generate color palettes for editor themes
- import an existing colorscheme and extend it

## When to choose
- you want to author a Neovim colorscheme in Lua with instant visual feedback
- you need to export a colorscheme to multiple formats or other tools
- you want structured, programmatic color manipulation while theming

## When to avoid
- you just want to install and use an existing colorscheme without creating one
- you need a theming tool for editors other than Neovim
- you want a tool under heavy active development, since the author notes its value proposition has diminished as Neovim matured
