### IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TERMINAL USERS:

If you are going to use Solarized in Terminal mode (i.e. not in a GUI version
like gvim or macvim), **please please please** consider setting your terminal
emulator's colorscheme to use the Solarized palette. I've included palettes

If you do use the custom terminal colors, solarized.vim should work out of the

I have attempted to modularize the creation of Vim colorschemes in this script

the creation of any color scheme. By simply changing the sixteen values in the

colorschemes without diving into the weeds of line-item editing each syntax
