+# vim-colors-off
+
+*This is very much a work in progress*
+
+For a number of weeks, I ran vim with `syntax off`. It was quite nice, 
+with only two annoyances:
+
+- Bright white on jet black was a bit off-putting.
+- There were cases when I did miss the lack of color, vimdiff for 
+  example.
+
+Therefore, I aimed to find or create a colorscheme to solve these two 
+issues.
+
+The result is very much based on the [pencil][] colorscheme, which is 
+surprising because it's a very colorful colorscheme, but:
+
+- It uses a very sane approach to defining and setting colors
+- It has nice background and foreground colors
+- In the areas where I do want color, I like how it colors things
+
+[pencil]: https://github.com/reedes/vim-colors-pencil
+

+
+Not super exciting...
+
+## Installation
+
+- Use [Vundle][]
+- Add "pbrisbin/vim-colors-off" as a plugin
+
+[vundle]: https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+:colorscheme off
+```
+
+Supports both `background=light` and `background=dark`. I use dark, so 
+that will always be the more tested.
