Installation

Option 1: Install via a plugin manager, like vim-plug

  1. Add Plug 'sts10/vim-pink-moon' as a plugin in your Vim config file (either vimrc or init.vim if using Neovim)
  2. Run :PlugInstall
  3. Put colorscheme pink-moon in your Vim config file. vim-pink-moon should run set background=dark for you, but you can put it in your config file as well.

A similar procedure should work with other plugin managers.

Option 2: Manual installation (assuming you're using Vim, as opposed to Neovim)

  1. Download the colorscheme: curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sts10/vim-pink-moon/master/colors/pink-moon.vim
  2. Move the colorscheme to ~/.vim/colors: mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors & mv pink-moon.vim ~/.vim/colors/
  3. Put colorscheme pink-moon and set background=dark in your vimrc.

Fonts in screenshots

The fonts in the screenshots above and below are Deja Vu Sans Mono and JetBrains Mono.

Inspiration

I liked the vibe of this setup (which I found thanks to this Reddit post), though I ended up picking most if not all of the colors independently. Not a lot of science involved!

Troubleshooting (Getting true HEX colors)

Vim-Pink-Moon has HEX color codes in it, so it works well with GUI versions of Vim (including MacVim), as well as terminals that have true color support (like iTerm2 for macOS).

If you're using Neovim and macOS and having trouble with getting the colors in the screenshot above to appear for you, I've got a blog post explaining how to get HEX colors in iTerm2 using Neovim. I also later wrote a separate blog post about troubleshooting HEX colors will regular terminal Vim + iTerm.

Further troubleshooting

Try re-ordering these setting in your Vim config file (vimrc) to the following

set termguicolors
colorscheme pink-moon
set background=dark
