Extremely low contrast between cursorline and comment color about vim HOT 5 CLOSED

The low contrast is by design of Nord and has been selected specifically to not disturb code flow and keep the focus of the developer on the code.

It is totally fine that you not agree to all highlighting color assignments, everyone has different preferences. That is the reason why themes exist 😄
You can customize the theme via your ~/.vimrc by pasting the following snippet somewhere before you set the color scheme (colorscheme nord) and than add your custom syntax highlighting rules you want to override:

augroup nord-overrides
  autocmd!
  autocmd ColorScheme nord highlight Comment ctermfg=<COLOR> guifg=<COLOR>
augroup END

The overriden rules will only be applied for Nord and won't affect other themes.

This is a reference table if you'd like to use the same increased contrast values as provided by the Nord Atom Syntax accessibility custom comment contrast theme setting feature which are calculated using the LESSCSS lighten function.

@b0o I've merged #56 so you can now change the percent with the new configuration. If you' re using vim-plug you can easily change the plugin to use the develop branch until version 0.7.0 is released.

Just add or adjust

Plug "arcticicestudio/nord-vim", { 'branch': "develop" }

in your ~/.vimrc and run :PlugInstall.

I agree. If there is any tiny amount of glare/excess light on my screen, comments are basically unreadable.

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this. I've been looking into how to do exactly what you describe.

Thank you! I find that bumping the comment color up just 5% to #576279 makes a world of difference.
