1. **Selective contrast**
|

|

Solarized reduces brightness based contrast in general. Our display devices
|

today are capable of blasting retina clean off with max brightness and
|

I found my eyes growing tired using high contrast colorschemes, even with

the brightness turned down. Solarized reduces *brightness contrast* but,
|
||||
unlike many low contrast colorschemes, retains *contrasting hues* (based on
|

colorwheel relations) for syntax highlighting readability.

5. **Precision**
|

|
||||
How
|
||||
---
|
||||
The monotones have symmetric CIELAB lightness differences, so switching
|
||||
from dark to light mode retains the same perceived contrast in brightness
|
||||
between each value. Each mode is equally readable. The accent colors are
|
||||
based off specific colorwheel relations and subsequently translated to
|
||||
CIELAB to ensure perceptual uniformity in terms of lightness. The hues
|
||||
themselves, as with the monotone \*A\*B values, have been adjusted within
|
||||
a small range to achieve the most pleasing combination of colors.

Installation

------------
|

|

Installation instructions for each version of the colorscheme is included in
|
||||
the subdirectory's README. Note that for Vim (and possibly for Mutt) you may
|
||||
want to clone the specific repository (for instance if you are using Pathogen).
