Color is everywhere around us.
For most people, color is about beauty or aesthetics.
For starters, Solarized isn’t aimed at one particular editor or piece of software.
It is also available as a color palette for Photoshop or GIMP.
Solarized author, Ethan Schoonover, did not just pick colors he felt were pretty.
Sure, the result is pretty, but it’s also very readable.
The Solarized color schemes are available both with a light and dark background.
They feel like one color scheme, but both are very readable.
It’s a minimalistic scheme, with just sixteen colors.
Another thing that’s very impressive about Solarized is the presentation.
Most color schemes are just a single text file with hardly any documentation.
I’ve been using Solarized for a few weeks now, mainly in Vim via Putty.
