Hello!
I have a habit of switching colorschemes quite often, and I’ve realized something over time— while there are many beautiful themes out there (I personally like ones such as Tokyonight, Catppuccin, and Everforest), it still feels like there aren’t enough that strike the right balance between readability, aesthetics, and focus.

Because of that, I’ve recently started working on my own Neovim colorscheme. My main goal is to create something that’s fun to look at while maintaining good readability and a focused, calm atmosphere — not overly flashy, but not so minimal that it feels “lonely” or sterile.
I’m completely new to colorscheme design and still in the very early stages, so I’d really appreciate any feedback or thoughts on the color balance, contrast, or general vibe.
