## What it is
A curated collection of Vim and Neovim colorschemes that use barely any color, favoring monochrome and low-contrast designs. It links to themes like 256noir, atlas.vim, and base16 grayscale with previews.

## Use cases
- find a monochrome vim colorscheme
- reduce eye strain with a low-contrast editor theme
- make syntax highlighting less colorful
- discover minimal dark and light vim themes
- compare no-color colorschemes for neovim

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want a minimal, monochrome or grayscale theme
- you want a curated list with previews to compare subtle colorschemes

## When to avoid
- you want vibrant, colorful syntax highlighting
- you need themes for editors other than Vim or Neovim
