A gruvbox colorscheme for mutt
Gruvbox is a well designed, popular colorscheme for vim that was inspired by Solarized and others. For my recently uploaded modular vim configuration I have chosen gruvbox as default colorscheme, analogously to SpaceVim.
As I use vim for composing mails in mutt, I therefore would like to have gruvbox for mutt as well. Unfortunately, the only one I found did not work for me. This is why I fetched the color codes from vim and wrote my own gruvbox colorscheme for mutt, which looks like this:
Download and usage
Simply clone the git repository mutt-gruvbox or its replication on github or download the colorscheme files.1 For instance:
cd ~/.mutt
git clone https://git.sthu.org/repos/mutt-gruvbox.git gruvbox
I use neomutt (version 20180512) on Gentoo Linux and mutt (version 1.7.2) on Debian Linux. I split the colorscheme into two files:
The former defines colors for objects known by both, mutt and neomutt. The latter defines colors for additional objects only known by neomutt.
After placing them somewhere into ~/.mutt/
, source them in your
~/.mutt/muttrc
. For instance:
source ~/.mutt/gruvbox/colors-gruvbox-shuber.muttrc
# For neomutt uncomment this line:
# source ~/.mutt/gruvbox/colors-gruvbox-shuber-extended.muttrc
