Original Solarized color scheme developed by Ethan Schoonover es@ethanschoonover.com
Adapted for IntelliJ IDEA by:
Adam Vandenberg flangy@gmail.com
Johan Kaving johan@kaving.se
See the Solarized homepage for screenshots, details and color scheme versions for Vim, Mutt, popular terminal emulators and other applications. These versions can also be found in the main Solarized repository on GitHub.
Unfortunately the IntelliJ subtree in the main repository has not been updated and is out-of-sync with this repository.
For IntelliJ this IntelliJ-only repository is therefore recommended over the main repository.
These color scheme files are primarily tested with the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. They might work with other versions of IntelliJ IDEA as well as other JetBrains tools (e.g. PhpStorm and PyCharm).
This table lists the languages (and other sections under Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts
)

Copy Solarized Dark.icls
and Solarized Light.icls
to your IntelliJ IDEA preferences
color directory. The directory varies, depending on which JetBrains IDE you are using.
The colors directory may need to be created.
It is typically in:
macOS
~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdeaXX/colors
(IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition),~/Library/Preferences/IdeaICXX/colors
(IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition),~/Library/Preferences/WebIDE70/colors

Preferences | Editor | Colors Scheme

File | Settings... | Editor | Color Scheme
and select one of the new color themes.Depending on the Look and Feel that you use the background color for editor tabs will be different. The default L&F has a light gray background, while the Darcula L&F has a dark background.
It is hard to find colors that work equally well on both light and dark backgrounds,
and therefore the settings.jar
file contains Darcula versions of the color schemes.
The only difference from the regular versions is that these color schemes inherit
their default colors from the Darcula theme rather than from Default.
Unfortunately, font settings are included in the color settings files.
You should probably modify these in Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts | Font
after adding the color schemes to your IntelliJ IDEA installation.
