Avalanche

Minimal soothing neovim colorscheme

Avalanche is a colorscheme with shades of grey and few accent colors. Its purpose is to let the developers focus on the code itself by highlighting only the necessary parts, instead of getting distracted by their fancy colorscheme.

It's mostly only shades of grey and one main accent color, other accents are only used when it's necessary to make a difference (e.g diff files).

This colorscheme requires neovim 0.7+.

Disclaimer

As of now, the shades of grey might be hard to read/differentiate. Please do open an issue/PR if you find it hard to read.

That being said, the 'day' variant is currently unimplemented.

Usage

Configuring avalanche

require("avalanche").setup {
    variant = "night", -- night | day
    transparent = false, -- true | false
    color_overrides = {}, -- any color in colors.lua
}

Applying avalanche

Vimscript:

colorscheme avalanche

Lua:

require("avalanche").apply()

Note that lua version is a wrapper around colorscheme avalanche.

While this may make you think that avalanche supports Vim, it does not. Avalanche is made with lua and neovim-specific functions.
