Solarized & Selenized Colorscheme Cheatsheet

4 minute read

Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors) designed by Ethan Schoonover.

Selenized is a redesign on Solarized by Jan Warchoł. It improves on Solarized by providing better contrast and more distinguishable accent colors.

Note: Color values here are canonical in CIE L*a*b* colorspace. The included sRGB values were computed with base16cs Rust tool that I developed. It uses palettte for colorspace computation.
