gruvbox is a retro groove color scheme for Vim with pastel colors and light/dark mode switching. It offers extensive customization options and extended filetype highlighting for many languages and popular Vim plugins.
Use cases
- make vim look nicer with a retro color scheme
- switch between light and dark vim themes
- get consistent syntax highlighting across many filetypes
- theme vim airline or lightline status bar
- reduce eye strain with a pleasant editor palette
When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want a well-established, customizable color scheme
- you need light/dark mode switching with configurable contrast
- you want highlighting support for many languages and popular plugins
When to avoid
- you need a theme for editors other than Vim (use the gruvbox ports instead)
- you want a modern flat design aesthetic rather than retro pastel colors
