#+title: Solaryzed: A Generalisation of Solarized

#+DESCRIPTION: A generalization of solarized (https://solaryzed.esy.fun).
#+DESCRIPTION: I tried to keep the same fundamentals and to free some variables.
#+OPTIONS: auto-id:t toc:t
#+STARTUP: overview

After many years using [[https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/][Solarized]] I changed to a new one.
I use it for my terminal, emacs and most of my tools.

This is inspired by both [[https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/][Solarized]] and [[https://nordtheme.com][Nord]].
I switched because I wanted a greyer theme.

Ethan Shoovnover the creator of Solarized gave plenty of information about
the creation of his colorscheme.
And I stumbled upon the [[https://nordtheme.com][Nord]] theme.
And I really liked it.
But while the colors are great, it is not as easy to switch from light to
dark theme than with solarized because Solarized has a lot of nice
properties.

So I kept the main principle used to create Solarized but freed a few parameters.
The tint of the dark and light colors for the background and the text, as
well as the contrast of the colors.

And I created this minimal application in Purescript:

https://solaryzed.esy.fun

It is still not perfect, because the real theme I use for my website as a
slightly bigger contrast for text.

Here is the CSS you could use:


#+begin_export html
<style>#colors div {
  display: inline-block;
  height: 60.0px;
  width: 60.0px;
  margin: 2px 0;
  font-weight: bold;
  line-height: 60.0px;
  text-align: center; }
  #colors { padding: 20px; margin: 10px 0; }
</style>
<div id="colors">
