256 Colorschemes for Vim

A collection of 256 color colorschemes that I've made for vim. If you're looking for a fairly comprehensive collection of 256 colorschemes made by various people, check out noah's vim256-color repository.

How to use

1. Move the colors directory into ~/.vim with mv path/to/colors ~/.vim
2. Create a vim configuration file in your home directory: touch ~.vimrc and add:

# Enable syntax hilighting
syntax enable
# Enable the use of 256 colors in your syntax highlighting, alternatively, this
# can be set in your terminal's preferences
set t_Co=256
# Choose colorscheme: replace 'sea256' with the name of the colorscheme you want
colorscheme sea256 

# Show line numbers
set number
# Highlight line number when cursor is on that line
set cursorline

# Make columns 81 and 82 darker than the background color
let &colorcolumn="81,82"
