A colorscheme based on the Tango color palette that originates from the Tango Desktop Project.

The colorscheme has a slight bias on yellow-ish and green colors and supports dark backgrounds only. Please refer to the full color palette for more details on the used colors.

There are no background colors set, so the color of the terminal is used. Ideally the terminal’s background-color is set to #2e3435 and the foreground color (text color) is set to #d3d7cf.

Screenshots

Here are some screenshots to show how the colorscheme looks like.

Languages/Sources in order:

1. Lua code from Neovim’s runtime/lua/vim/diagnostic.lua file
2. Bash script from the bash-completion package
3. Python program from the glib library
4. Markdown source in a specific state of this readme

The status line seen in the screenshots is lualine.nvim with my configuration.

Installation

You can simply install the colorscheme using a package manager.

-- lazy.nvim
require('lazy').setup({
    -- [more plugins here]
    {
        url = 'https://git.0x7be.net/dirk/neovim-tango-colors',
        lazy = false,
        priority = 1000,
        config = function ()
            vim.opt.termguicolors = true
            vim.cmd.colorscheme('tango-colors')
        end
    }
})

-- Packer
require('packer').startup(function(use)
  -- [more plugins here]
    use({
        'https://git.0x7be.net/dirk/neovim-tango-colors',
        config = function()
            vim.opt.termguicolors = true
            vim.cmd.colorscheme('tango-colors')
        end
    })
end)

This installs/loads the colorscheme plugin and enables it using one of those package managers.
