October 5, 2007 at 3:02PM I’m finally happy with my terminal colours

It’s been seven years since I’ve had a set of terminal colours that I’ve liked, but I think I’ve finally worked out the colour scheme I used to have back then. Here’s what I’m using now:

      Text: #A4CC28 (Lime)
Background: #283328 (Sea green)

   Black 1: #000000
   Black 2: #555555
     Red 1: #AA0000 (Slightly desaturated crimson)
     Red 2: #FF5555 (Erm, pink...)
   Green 1: #008000
   Green 2: #62C462
  Yellow 1: #BF6000 (Orange brown)
  Yellow 2: #FFBF00 (Orange yellow)
    Blue 1: #005FBF (Dark sky blue)
    Blue 2: #9BAEC2 (Light sky blue, with a dash of grey)
 Magenta 1: #AA00AA
 Magenta 2: #FF55FF
    Cyan 1: #008080
    Cyan 2: #66CCCC
   White 1: #808080
   White 2: #FFFFFF

Here’s what it looks like. The screen shot is of Vim with the koehler colour scheme running in a terminal displaying some of the templating code in AFK:

Update: Aha! Here’s what I was trying to get close to! Here’s a Vim colour scheme that might be useful.

Update (Mar 18th): Urgh! Pasted the wrong value in for Green 1! Fixed.

Wow. That’s a gorgeous colour scheme. I’ve just finished changing my Eclipse environment to match. (Don’t worry - I’m not using it for Java, I’m only using PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. ;) )

I had to convert everything into RGB triplets, but it was worth the hassle. =)

I think I prefer it to the one you linked to. Everything just stands out better.
