mira.vim

This is a vim/nvim color scheme specifically designed for E-Ink monitors.

The monitor I used for developing is Mira Pro from Boox, hence the scheme's name.

It's still WIP (yea, I just go my monitor in Oct. 2022), but at this point it's usable for my daily vim use.

Done(?) Features

• Customized pallete to display grey scale (binary, actually) colors

• More syntax tweaks for common languages
  • markdown
  • python
  • js

Photos

Here are some photos of the actual display

Black+White

Black and white settings should work for most of terminals and monitor settings. In some rare cases it might need some tuning. Issues are welcome.

Black+White with an additional Grey

A grey color may be added, but it is not stable, since how the grey would look like is largely depending on the terminal you are using and your monitor settings, thus most likely will need manual tuning to get it displayed correctly. Here's how it looks on my machine

Fine Tuning

If you need to tune some of the color to match your monitor settings, here is a useful script I run to figure out which RGB color gets mapped to black or white based on a specific monitor settings:

for i in {0..255} ; do
    printf "\x1b[48;5;%sm%3d\e[0m " "$i" "$i"
    if (( i == 15 )) || (( i > 15 )) && (( (i-15) % 6 == 0 )); then
        printf "\n";
    fi
done

This work is inspired by the popular color scheme gruvbox, which is my go-to scheme when I am on a regular display.
