PaperColor terminal color scheme
hterm, the official terminal emulator for ChromeOS, has foiled my usual preference for dark color schemes because its font rendering is optimized for light backgrounds that are common on the Web, but not for traditional terminals.
Thus, I have ported Vim’s light PaperColor theme to the terminal as follows:
To use this color scheme in hterm, open the nassh extension’s settings page, open Chrome Developer Tools, and then run the following snippet in the console:
term_.prefs_.set("background-color", "#eeeeee");
term_.prefs_.set("foreground-color", "#444444");
term_.prefs_.set("cursor-color", "rgba(0,95,135, 0.5)"); /* #005f87 */
term_.prefs_.set("color-palette-overrides", ["#1c1c1c", "#af0000", "#008700",
"#d75f00", "#005faf", "#d70087", "#0087af", "#e4e4e4", "#1c1c1c", "#af0000",
"#008700", "#d75f00", "#005faf", "#d70087", "#0087af", "#e4e4e4"]);
To use this color scheme in Rxvt or XTerm, save the following snippet to a file
such as ~/.Xdefaults and then run xrdb -merge on that file to apply it. Any
terminals launched thereafter will use this color scheme, but not existing ones.
