Solarized is Cool
I was investigating why there aren't colors in the pagers as used by Mutt when I stumbled over the Solarized color schemes for stuff. I had seen these in the past, but ignored them because I was trying to stick to mostly built-in Vim features. Now that I'm slurping up all kinds of addons for Vim, I revisited the topic.
Solarized in Vim
First, using Vim 8's spiffy plugin features:
T282828
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/solarized/start/
cd ~/.vim/pack/solarized/start/
git clone https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized
They look really nice, provided some things are set in my T383838~/.vimrc, specifically:
T282828
let g:solarized_termcolors=256
colorscheme solarized
Depending on the setup, it may be necessary to set it to dark, too...
T282828
" Some colorsets are better about contrast if they know the terminal is dark.
set background=dark
Solarized in Mutt
The Solarized color scheme for Mutt looks even nicer, but you'll have to take my word for it as I'm unable to safely post a screenshot of that.
But here's how I set that up:
T282828
