# vim-colors-off

For a number of weeks, I ran vim with `syntax off`. It was quite nice, 

with only two annoyances:

- Bright white on jet black was a bit off-putting.

- There were cases when I did miss the lack of color, vimdiff for 

  example.

Therefore, I aimed to find or create a colorscheme to solve these two 

issues.

The result is very much based on the [pencil][] colorscheme, which is 

surprising because it's a very colorful colorscheme, but:

- It uses a very sane approach to defining and setting colors

- It has nice background and foreground colors

- In the areas where I do want color, I like how it colors things

## Installation

- Use your preferred plugin manager

- Add "pbrisbin/vim-colors-off" as a plugin

## Usage

```

:colorscheme off

```

Supports both `background=light` and `background=dark`.

## Options

- `g:colors_off_a_little`: Set to `1` to bring back _a little_ color, here and there. Default `0`.

## Trouble-shooting

**Plugin fails to update**: we recently switched our default branch; this can confuse

some existing checkouts. The solution is to remove and re-add the plugin. How do to that

depends on the plugin manager you use.
