I don't get why people like Solarized. It's way too low contrast in every dimension for my particular flavour of colour blindness. Maybe it's just a particularly pessimal colour scheme for me :(
(Also the designer appears to have based one of the key colour choices on his memories of almost drowning to death as a child. http://www.metafilter.com/102504/Solarized#3636286 http://www.metafilter.com/102504/Solarized#3636286)
- sp4rki 14y agoOh but I'm not color blind :) Also solarized comes with various different "contrast versions" have you tried them all? By the way, what's your choice in color scheme being color blind and all?
- __alexs 14y agoI use the Gnome Tango colour scheme http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines where possible. I find it has good contrast between colours in general. In particular I can actually read the blue it uses on a black background. Most of the colours have good contrast with each other even at extremely low saturation too. For my vision there are some small tweaks I sometimes make to it but it is generally the most agreeable match to my abnormality I've found in a preset so far.
