The colors fall into a common trap of looking fine when presented in rainbow order but where distant colors are actually extremely similar so as to be difficult to differentiate. Because the colors are all warm (red-leaning) and pastel (un-intense), the magenta and red have become too same-y for my eyes. If they aren't side-by-side, I can't tell which one is which immediately without effort.
- Jaxan 3y agoI noticed this too. Also, for a so-called “high-contrast” colour scheme, this palette has little contrast, imo
- BugsJustFindMe 3y agoIt's obviously not high contrast in any respect. It's rather high end of low contrast. Medium contrast, we could say. But it sadly only attends to contrast between foreground and background and seems to completely ignore contrast between foreground elements.
- joshka 3y agoI took a recent go at designing a good terminal color scheme and ended up with: https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes#aardvark-blue https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes#aardvark-b... The goal of this theme is that: colors are fairly natural background and black are distinct grays are naturally ordered avoiding full black light and dark colors are distinct from each other all colors look good on background, black, dark gray, gray, white
