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.

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.

I do not see the hex.
