Hey everyone,

About a year ago I embarked on creating a color scheme for a project and I loved it so much I began using it for everything. I decided to make an official repo for it to share with the world.

Anyhoo, hope y'all enjoy it.

I'm confused by the usage of the word color scheme.

To me a color scheme is something like monokai. A small number of colors that go well together. The application (eg syntax highlighting in a code editor) is obvious and easy. This is just...lots of monochrome colors? How would I use this? Not trying to be dismissive, I'm just confused.

I don't see that option at this point. I don't know how to tag @dang either.

For completeness, the repo's "About" still reads "the color scheme for internet lovers"

Color Scheme is indeed more appropriate as they area specific set of colours this guy has used throughout his career. I can tell you one more specific reason for 47x points -- he actually includes the hex numbers for the colours!!! No more copying and pasting into a third app that can guestimate. It's a real time saver.
