A total of sixteen, carefully selected, dimmed pastel colors for a eye-comfortable, but yet colorful ambiance.
Created for clear, uncluttered and elegant designs following a minimal and flat style pattern.
For syntax highlighting it aims to ensure an undisturbed focus on important parts of the code, a good readability and a quick visual distinction between the different syntax elements.
Nord consists of four named color palettes providing different syntactic meanings and color effects for dark & bright ambiance designs.
All colors are numbered from `nord0` to `nord15` where each palette contains a different amount of colors. The naming convention preserves the compatibility for terminal color schemes and allows an uncomplicated use as base for such.
