cuddlefish

a bright, splashy neovim colorscheme inspired by splatoon’s ink battles, made with love (and high contrast) for my gf who has deuteranopia.

cuddlefish is built to be vibrant, bright and comfy — with clear visual distinction between syntax elements and playful colors that pop off the screen (no hue confusion here).

cuddlefish is inspired by oxocarbon, nord and kanagawa.

features

• bright, high-contrast ink palette (splatoon-inspired)
• color role system with visual weight emphasis (good for color vision deficiencies)
• bold, modern aesthetic (like oxocarbon)
• treesitter syntax highlighting
• lsp semantic highlights
