Re: A vimdiff light colorscheme for a wide range of file color-coding types

People,

For years I have struggled and spent dozens of hours to find a colorscheme that looks good with simple vim editing for a range of file types eg

  .txt
  .sh
  .xml
  .c
  .rb
  .java
  .rs

etc - that ALSO looks good and READABLE in vimdiff . .

I have tried dozens of schemes and I am about to systematically work my way through hundreds but it would be nice if I can find a colorscheme where someone has already solved the problem:

​Can you list what you remember out of these dozens? Preferably with the comments on why you did not like them: this is needed to avoid (if you have already tested the colorscheme) or receive (if you have not) various "obvious" advices like solarized (which has light variant). Some people may also think that what you consider unreadable is perfectly readable and this will protect you from advices from them.

I personally use wombat256-mod, but this is dark and not light colorscheme.​

 

- I want a normal white background for lines that are the same

and

- readable color combinations where lines / text are different eg yellow is hopeless, purple is unreadable on a coloured background etc

Any suggestions?  Should I just start from scratch and build my own?

Thanks,

Phil.
