A gruvbox light theme with muted contrast

iTerm2 Gruvbox Light Faded

This is my take on a gruvbox light theme for iTerm2 that uses the soft and faded colors.

Key design choices:

• The theme uses the OSX HEX values from this table. These look better than the default hex values.
• I made most of the design choices to achieve a more muted appearnce, with less stark contrasts.
  • Bold uses dark1 instead of a white.
  • The normal colors use the faded_* variants.
  • The bright colors use the neutral_* variants.
  • The background uses light0_soft.
  • The cursor guide uses the light0_hard to create a subtle indication.
• I like more contrast for some scenarios so the selection, cursor text, and normal white colors use light0_hard.

Other Gruvbox iTerm2 Themes

morhetz/gruvbox-contrib

A collection of many ports of gruvbox that includes a dark and light variant for iTerm2. It is maintained by the creator of gruvbox, so I consider this the canonical implementation.

A very comprehensive collection of iTerm2 themes and has a dark and light variant.
