#+DESCRIPTION: A generalization of solarized (https://solaryzed.esy.fun)
#+OPTIONS: auto-id:t toc:t
#+STARTUP: overview

The colorscheme of my website is the colorscheme I use for my terminal and
most of my environment.

This is inspired by both [[https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/][Solarized]] and [[https://nordtheme.com][Nord]].

So I used [[https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/][Solarized]] for many years.
And it was really difficult finding a new one that suits my taste.

Stil I disliked the blue-green dark background.
I wanted to change that background color.
Or having a grayer background.

Ethan Shoovnover the creator of Solarized gave plenty of information about
how he created it.

Also I stumbled upon the [[https://nordtheme.com][Nord]] theme.
And I really liked it.
But while the colors are great, it is not as easy to switch from light to
dark theme than with solarized because Solarized has a lot of nice
properties.

So I kept the main principle used to create Solarized but freed a few parameters.
The tint of the dark and light colors for the background and the text, as
well as the contrast of the colors.

And I created this minimal application in Purescript:

https://solaryzed.esy.fun

It is still not perfect, because the real theme I use for my website as a
slightly bigger contrast for text.

Here is the CSS you could use:
