Sunburn Theme for Emacs and iTerm2

Overview

This is a low-contrast theme for Emacs and iTerm2. After using Zenburn for several years, I decided I wanted something a bit different, but in the same spirit, so I went looking for colors I liked. I’ve always liked the palette of old Sun workstations and boxes, combining shades of gray and purple.

Turns out, they don’t work very well for text, but they did provide a starting point for exploration. The main palette for this theme looks like this:

In use, it looks like this:

Since I also use iTerm2 quite a bit, I did a port of the theme to it.

Installation

For iTerm, simply import the theme from the drop-down in the Preferences → Profiles → Colors pane.

For Emacs, do the following:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "path/where/you/put/the/theme/")
(load-theme 'sunburn)
