cyborg.nvim

A dark Neovim colorscheme with rusty, steel-ish tones and popping colors.

Not pastel. Not washed out. Cyborg uses warm dark backgrounds with metallic grays, steel blues, and rusty oranges — colors that feel industrial and alive, with the contrast to back it up.

About

Many modern dark colorschemes lean toward soft, pastel palettes that look pretty but sacrifice punch and contrast. Cyborg goes the other direction: warm, dark backgrounds (#1a1917) paired with bold syntax colors that pop off the screen without straining your eyes.

The palette draws from rusty metals and aged steel — think oxidized iron, brushed metal, and neon on concrete.
