Installation

Use your favorite runtimepath/plugin manager, or place substrata.vim into ~/.vim/colors/ for *nix and %userprofile%\vimfiles\colors\ for Windows.

Usage

Vim

Substrata should work out of the box if you’re using a GUI Vim such as GVim or MacVim. Terminal usage, however, requires the terminal supporting 24-bit colour, also known as True Colour.

set termguicolors " Only needed in terminals
colorscheme substrata

Terminal

If you want other terminal output to match with Substrata, then set your terminal emulator’s colours to match the ones below:

ColourNormalBright
Black#2e313d#5b5f71
Red#cf8164#fe9f7c
Green#76a065#92c47e
Yellow#ab924c#d2b45f
Blue#8296b0#a0b9d8
Magenta#a18daf#c6aed7
Cyan#659ea2#7dc2c7
White#b5b4c9#f0ecfe
Foreground#b5b4c9
Background#191c25

A preset is included for iTerm and in Xresources format. The Xresources format can be used either by copying the contents of xresources/substrata.xresources into ~/.Xresources, or, if you would prefer to keep the theme in a separate file, you can instead include it with the following syntax:

#include "/path/to/substrata.xresources"
