Solarized 16 (because we need another solarized theme)
======================================================

A fork of [solarized8](https://github.com/Lifepillar/vim-solarized8), which
is itself based on [solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) and
[flattened](https://github.com/romainl/flattened). (I know, it is a long list,
but the credit should be given.)

This theme is just that: solarized8 with no configuration that only supports
solarized terminal colors and truecolor / gui. Since I've completely stripped
the 256 color approximation, I've decided to call this fork solarized16.

Why another solarized colorscheme?
----------------------------------

[Solarized8](https://github.com/Lifepillar/vim-solarized8) was perfect, but
over the time it shifted from sensible defaults to 256 color approximation and
added more options than was necessary.

[Flattened](https://github.com/romainl/flattened) could have been nice if it
was updated and worked with the plugins that I use.

The original [solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) colorscheme code
is obnoxiously complicated.  Also 256 color approximation is default and there
is no support for termguicolors.

What's in a name?
-----------------

In terminal, this theme only uses the first 16 colors. Hence solarized16.
You can also think that it's two times more awesome than solarized8
(in reality it is not, the original offers many cool options if you're into
that).

But my terminal is not using solarized and my vim does not support tgc!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tough luck. Check out [solarized8](https://github.com/Lifepillar/vim-solarized8).
In my opinion though, 256 color approximation is so horrendously ugly, there
is no point including it. You might as well just go for a colorscheme written
specifically with 256 colors in mind, like lucius or PaperColors.

What's the plan?
----------------

I'll probably merge changes from the defaults of solarized8 from time to time.
