[change colour scheme depending on time of day]

Dear all,

I have a rather simple task. I would like Vim to change the colour scheme depending on the time of the day. Please find my solution below. I place it into my ~/.vimrc file. I'm wondering, maybe there is a more elegant way to do it? Maybe there is a built-in Vim function to enquire the hour of the day?

let hr = substitute(system('date +%H'), "\n", "", "")

" colour scheme setting

if (hr >= 6) && (hr < 18)

  colorscheme solarized8_light

else

  colorscheme solarized8_dark

endif

Thank you for your help!
