Show HN: Top Neovim/iTerm theme pairings (color compatibility scoring)
I made a list of Neovim/iTerm theme pairings that look cohesive when used together. Instead of picking by eye, I scored them by color palette similarity (nearest-neighbor matching) and balance across backgrounds, highlights, and syntax colors.
Top 10 Pairings:
• Everblush × nightly.nvim
• Tomorrow Night × rusty
• Rose Pine × Sakura.nvim
• Challenger Deep × DarkScene.vim
• Atom One Dark × onepro
• Black Metal (Marduk) × nolife.nvim
• Mellow × oldtale.nvim
• Nvim Dark × monoglow.nvim
• Gruvbox Dark × gruvsquirrel.nvim
• Cursor Dark × nordic.nvim
