Nightvision for Neovim

Nightvision uses only green. Not only is green pleasant to look at, but the human eye percieves more shades of green than any other color, making it an obvious choice for use with a text editor or IDE.

• Nine-color, all-green palette

Hard contrast with gray for dark mode and drab for light mode.

Dark and Light Mode Backgrounds

The background color in dark mode can be set by specifying a color,

" If you use init.vim
let g:nv_dark = 'jade'

-- If you use init.lua
vim.g.nv_dark = 'jade'

or, for light mode,

" If you use init.vim
let g:nv_light = 'sage'

-- If you use init.lua
vim.g.nv_light = 'sage'

Contrast

Contrast changes the brightness of the background, the brightness of text, and the difference in brightness between syntax (for instance, comments are darker than other syntax highlights in dark mode, or brighter in light mode). Set contrast by specifying one of the three options,

" If you use init.vim
let g:nv_contrast = 'soft'

-- If you use init.lua
vim.g.nv_contrast = 'soft
