eggfriedrice

A dark, warm Neovim colorscheme that leans into its name: yolk-yellow literals, rice-cream text, and scallion-green strings on a navy background inspired by halcyon. Token roles follow One Dark Pro: red identifiers, purple keywords, green strings. Yellow is the signature and carries functions, types and builtins plus everything One Dark Pro paints orange: numbers, booleans, constants, attributes. Operators are blue where One Dark Pro uses cyan.

The preview is generated from the palette by make preview, so it never drifts from the colors.

Palette

Variables, fields, keys, tags, errors	Red	#e06c75
Keywords, decorators	Purple	#c084fc
Functions, types, builtins, numbers, booleans, constants	Yolk yellow	#ffc940
Operators	Blue	#6cb8ff
Strings	Scallion	#60e654
Escapes, enum members, accents	Teal	#78e2d6
Text	Rice cream	#d8d3c3
Punctuation	Muted	#a8a396
Comments	Blue gray	#8695b7
Background	Navy	#0d111a
Line numbers, dividers	Gutter	#586480
Dormant, not assigned to any group	Orange	#fc9a2c

Fields and properties are red on both declaration and access, like One Dark Pro. Diff backgrounds are tints at one OKLCH lightness and chroma in each accent's hue, and search backgrounds are blends. Both are computed at load time, so overriding a palette color carries through everywhere.

A bright tier (red_bright, green_bright, yellow_bright, blue_bright, purple_bright, cyan_bright, fg_bright) lifts each accent 0.04 OKLCH lightness with its hue held. It fills ANSI slots 9 to 15 in :terminal and in the extras, so bold terminal text reads as the same color, only lit.

Features

• Consistent token roles across legacy syntax, treesitter, and LSP semantic tokens - tuned against TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java, Python, Lua, CSS, HTML, YAML, JSON, TOML, and Markdown
• Terminal colors (:terminal matches the theme)
• Bundled lualine theme
• Extras for Ghostty, Hyprland, waybar, rofi, dunst, fzf, zsh, Starship, tmux, lazygit, bat, btop, eza, opencode, Slack, Discord, Zen and Chromium browsers, frameit and efr, generated from the same palette (see Extras)
• on_colors / on_highlights hooks for overriding anything
• Popular plugin support (Telescope, neo-tree, gitsigns, nvim-cmp, and more)

Installation

lazy.nvim

{
  "eggfriedrice24/eggfriedrice.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    vim.cmd.colorscheme("eggfriedrice")
  end,
}

vim.pack (Neovim 0.12+)

vim.pack.add({ "https://github.com/eggfriedrice24/eggfriedrice.nvim" })
vim.cmd.colorscheme("eggfriedrice")

Configuration

setup() is optional and only needed to change defaults. Call it before colorscheme. Full docs: :h eggfriedrice.

-- defaults
require("eggfriedrice").setup({
  transparent = false,    -- no background; let the terminal show through
  italic_comments = true, -- italic comments
  dim_inactive = false,   -- darker background in inactive windows
  on_colors = nil,        -- fun(colors): tweak the palette
  on_highlights = nil,    -- fun(highlights, colors): tweak highlight groups
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("eggfriedrice")

Transparent background

Removes editor, float, and sidebar backgrounds so your terminal's background (and its opacity or blur) shows through:

{
  "eggfriedrice24/eggfriedrice.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    require("eggfriedrice").setup({
      transparent = true,
    })
    vim.cmd.colorscheme("eggfriedrice")
  end,
}

Upright comments

require("eggfriedrice").setup({
  italic_comments = false,
})

Dim inactive windows

Inactive windows get the darker background shade (ignored while transparent is set):

require("eggfriedrice").setup({
  dim_inactive = true,
})

Overriding the palette

on_colors runs before highlights are built and receives the complete palette, including semantic aliases (error, git_add, ...) and derived backgrounds (diff, search, ...). Changes carry through everywhere:

require("eggfriedrice").setup({
  on_colors = function(c)
    c.green = "#b0e070"   -- brighter strings
    c.comment = "#8a8578" -- brighter comments
  end,
})

Overriding highlight groups

on_highlights runs after all groups are built and can change or add any group. The dormant orange is in the palette for exactly this:

require("eggfriedrice").setup({
  on_highlights = function(hl, c)
    hl.CursorLineNr = { fg = c.red, bold = true }
    hl["@punctuation.special"] = { fg = c.orange }
    hl.TelescopeBorder = { fg = c.fg_gutter }
  end,
})

lualine

A matching lualine theme is bundled (normal is yellow, insert green, visual purple, replace red, command cyan):

require("lualine").setup({
  options = { theme = "eggfriedrice" },
})

Extras

The same palette, rendered for the rest of the terminal. Every file under extras/ is generated from lua/eggfriedrice/colors.lua by make extras, and CI fails when they drift, so they never lag behind the editor.

App	File	Install
Ghostty	extras/ghostty/eggfriedrice	copy to ~/.config/ghostty/themes/eggfriedrice, set theme = eggfriedrice
fzf 0.36+	extras/fzf/eggfriedrice.sh	source it from your shell rc
zsh with zsh-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions	extras/zsh/eggfriedrice.zsh	source it from .zshrc
fast-syntax-highlighting	extras/fsh/eggfriedrice.ini	copy to ~/.config/fsh/, run fast-theme XDG:eggfriedrice
Starship	extras/starship/eggfriedrice.toml	paste into starship.toml, use the names in style
tmux 3.3+	extras/tmux/eggfriedrice.tmux	source-file it from tmux.conf; the palette is also set as @eggfriedrice_* user options for your own formats
lazygit	extras/lazygit/eggfriedrice.yml	append to LG_CONFIG_FILE after your own config
bat, Sublime Text	extras/bat/eggfriedrice.tmTheme	copy to ~/.config/bat/themes/, run bat cache --build, set BAT_THEME=eggfriedrice
Hyprland and hyprlock	extras/hyprland/eggfriedrice.conf	source = it, then use $yellow or rgba($yellowAlphaee)
Lua (Hyprland's Lua config, wezterm, ...)	extras/lua/eggfriedrice.lua	put it on your Lua path and require("eggfriedrice")
GTK CSS: waybar, ghostty gtk-custom-css	extras/gtk/eggfriedrice.css	@import url(...) it, then use @yellow or alpha(@bg, 0.7)
rofi	extras/rofi/eggfriedrice.rasi	@import it, then use @yellow
dunst	extras/dunst/eggfriedrice.conf	copy or symlink into ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc.d/
btop	extras/btop/eggfriedrice.theme	copy into ~/.config/btop/themes/, set color_theme = "eggfriedrice"
eza	extras/eza/eggfriedrice.yml	copy or symlink to ~/.config/eza/theme.yml, unset LS_COLORS and EZA_COLORS
opencode	extras/opencode/eggfriedrice.json	copy or symlink into ~/.config/opencode/themes/, then set theme.name in cli.json (opencode 2) or theme in tui.json (opencode 1)
Slack	extras/slack/eggfriedrice.txt	Preferences, Appearance, Custom theme, Import: paste the four-color line (classic client: the ten-color one)
Discord via Vencord, Vesktop or BetterDiscord	extras/discord/eggfriedrice.theme.css	copy or symlink into the client mod's themes/ dir and enable it; the stock client cannot load themes
Zen Browser	extras/zen/userChrome.css	copy or symlink to <profile>/chrome/userChrome.css, set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in about:config, restart
Helium and other Chromium browsers	extras/chromium/manifest.json	chrome://extensions, Developer mode, Load unpacked, pick the extras/chromium folder
frameit 0.2+	extras/frameit/eggfriedrice.toml	include = "/path/to/eggfriedrice.toml" in ~/.config/frameit/config.toml
efr	extras/efr/eggfriedrice.toml	set palette = "/path/to/eggfriedrice.toml" under [render] in ~/.config/efr/config.toml; the file's code_theme points at ../bat/eggfriedrice.tmTheme next to it, so code uses the bat theme; in a copy of the file, set code_theme to an absolute path
anything else	extras/palette/eggfriedrice.json	primitives, semantic tokens, the 16 ANSI slots and every app's role map as JSON

Shell roles match the editor: commands are yellow like functions, quoted words green like strings, $vars red like variables, redirections blue like operators. The palette JSON carries the full token set of the design system, including the semantic names each extra maps from.
