Gruber Ocean

A minimal Vim color scheme based on Gruber Darker with custom enhancements.

Why Gruber Ocean?

I wanted a color scheme that:

• Keeps types subtle (not distracting)
• Makes functions stand out with cyan
• Maintains the minimal philosophy of Gruber Darker
• Automatically highlights custom C types (camera_t, vec3_t, etc.)

Features

• Minimal syntax highlighting - inspired by Tsoding's setup
• Darker types - subtle gray for type names (matches line numbers)
• Cyan function names - soft muted cyan for better readability
• Keywords in yellow - clear keyword visibility
• Strings in green - easy to spot string literals
• Auto-highlighting - custom types ending in _t or _s automatically highlighted

Color Palette

• Background: Very dark gray (almost black)
• Normal text: Bright white
• Types: Gray (243) - same as line numbers
• Keywords: Yellow (220)
• Strings: Green (149)
• Functions: Muted cyan (110)
• Comments: Brown/orange (172)
