## What it is
Tender is a 24-bit true-color colorscheme for Vim and Neovim, with matching themes for the Airline and Lightline statusline plugins. It also has community-maintained terminal theme ports for Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm, and others.

## Use cases
- dark colorscheme for vim
- neovim true color theme
- matching airline theme for my colorscheme
- lightline theme for vim
- tender theme for alacritty or kitty
- make vim look nicer in terminal

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim with true-color terminal support and want a cohesive dark theme
- you use Airline or Lightline and want a matching statusline theme

## When to avoid

- your terminal lacks 24-bit color support
