Zenbones
Zenbones is a light vim/nvim colorscheme designed to highlight code using contrasts and font variations. Colors are tasked only for other roles such as diagnostics, diffs, search matches.
A rock garden in Ryōan-ji.
Requirements
Primarily built for nvim but it works pretty well with vim. However here are some requirements to take full advantage of the colorscheme:
- 24-bit RGB colors (nvim or vim compiled with +termguicolors)
- Font with bold and italic
- Terminal or GUI with bold and italic support
Installation
Example installation using packer:
use "mcchrish/zenbones.nvim"
-- Optionally install Lush. Useful if you want to extend the theme
-- e.g. create a statusline plugin theme using zenbones colors
use "rktjmp/lush.nvim"
-- See Advanced Usage section for more details
Usage
Just apply the colorscheme as usual:
set termguicolors
colorscheme zenbones
Alternatively, if you want to make use of the lua version:
set termguicolors
colorscheme zenbones-lush
It works pretty much the same as the first one but pretty handy when extending or customizing the colors to your likings.

Advanced Usage
Zenbones is pretty extensible thanks to Lush. You can easily retrieve the colors in lua:
local theme = require "zenbones"
local colors = require "zenbones.colors"
print(theme.StatusLine.bg.hex)
print(sand.darken(20).hex)
One such example is the custom lualine theme.
See also Lush's documentation for the complete options.
Other implementations
