Installation

You can install Melange with any (Neo)Vim plugin manager.

Packer:

use "savq/melange"

Paq:

"savq/melange";

Additionally, nvim-treesitter can be used to install tree-sitter parsers, and Lush.nvim can be used to extend the colorscheme (see Contributing).

Usage

Enable termguicolors and load the colorscheme.

In your init.vim:

set termguicolors
colorscheme melange

Or in your init.lua:

vim.opt.termguicolors = true
vim.cmd("colorscheme melange")

To enable the light variant, set the background (or let your terminal do it for you) before setting the colorscheme.

Design

Melange was developed with the following ideas in mind:

• Control flow should use warm colors and data should use cold colors.
• No runtime configuration. If you want to modify anything, you should do it statically. See Build and develop.
• Ayu and Gruvbox were the main inspirations.

Previews

The font is IBM/plex Mono.
