the Raven colourscheme for Vim, modified and rebuilt

made in Colortemplate, the Toolkit for Vim Colourscheme Designers

Installation

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

Usage

If you’re using a GUI, then Corvine should work out of the box. However, if you’re planning to use Corvine in a terminal, the terminal must support the 256 colour palette, which most modern ones do. For Corvine Light, on the other hand, your terminal must support 24-bit colour, also known as True Colour, if you want the correct background colour (apart from this, Corvine Light does not require 24-bit colour). You can enable Vim to use this palette (if it is available) with set termguicolors. If you want other terminal output to match with Corvine, then set its colours to match the ones below:

Dark:

Colour Normal Bright
Black #3a3a3a #626262
Red #d78787 #ffafaf
Green #87af5f #afd787
Yellow #d7d7af #d7d787
Blue #87afd7 #87d7ff
Magenta #afafd7 #d7afd7
Cyan #87d7d7 #5fd7d7
White #c6c6c6 #eeeeee
Foreground #c6c6c6
Background #262626

Light:

Colour Normal Bright
Black #eee8dc #9e9e9e
Red #d75f5f #d7005f
Green #005f00 #008700
Yellow #af8700 #af5f00
Blue #0087d7 #00afd7
Magenta #5f5faf #af5faf
Cyan #008787 #00afaf
White #585858 #000000
Foreground #585858
Background #fff9ed

A preset for both of these colourschemes is included for iTerm. Only the dark variant has a preset for Terminal.app. This is because Terminal.app doesn’t support 24-bit colour, therefore leading to a situation in which a colourscheme that is impossible to match in Vim is included as a terminal preset. In the end, I simply decided against including the preset to avoid the issue.
