PaperColor is a light and dark color scheme for Vim, inspired by Google's Material Design. It is optimized for fast loading, supports 4-bit terminals and GUI, and aims to improve code readability.

Use cases

  • make vim easier on the eyes with a light theme
  • find a material design colorscheme for vim
  • get a readable vim theme for presentations
  • use the same color scheme in terminal and gui vim
  • dark and light vim theme with fast load time

When to choose

  • you use Vim or Neovim and want a polished, readable color scheme
  • you need a theme that works in both 4-bit terminals and GUI
  • you present code on screen and want high readability

When to avoid
