A dark color scheme for Vim & gVim

hybrid.vim

A dark colour scheme for Vim that combines the:

• Default palette from Tomorrow-Night.
• Reduced contrast palette from Codecademy's online editor.
• Syntax group highlighting scheme from Jellybeans
• Vimscript from Solarized

Updates

• 05/01/2016: Replaced let g:hybrid_use_Xresources = 1 in favour of let g:hybrid_custom_term_colors = 1
• 05/01/2016: Added let g:hybrid_reduced_contrast = 1

Requirements

• gVim 7.3+ on Linux, Mac and Windows.
• Vim 7.3+ on Linux and Mac, using a terminal that supports 256 colours.

Installation

1. Copy colors/hybrid.vim to:

   ~/.vim/colors/hybrid.vim
   

   or alternatively, use a plugin manger such as vim-plug, NeoBundle, Vundle, or Pathogen.

2. Add to ~/.vimrc:

   set background=dark
   colorscheme hybrid

Define custom terminal colours (recommended)

Due to the limited 256 palette, colours in Vim and gVim will still be slightly different.

In order to have Vim use the same colours as gVim (the way this colour scheme is intended) define the basic 16 colours in your terminal.
