Using the Papercolor Theme in Vim and Zsh

Linux

I still spend a large amount of time in the terminal, where I mainly work with Zsh, Terminator and Vim. Having a uniform look makes switching between the environments more smoothly. The theme can be easily installed for vim as descibed here, using your favorite plugin manager.

Plugin 'NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme'

Terminator

In terminator, you can simple create a new profile sporting the Papercolor theme colors by adding the following snippet to the configuration file /home/sproell/.config/terminator. The essential part is the palette with the different colors.

[[Papercolor]]
    background_color = "#eeeeee"
    cursor_color = "#aaaaaa"
    foreground_color = "#4d4d4c"
    palette = "#ededed:#d7005f:#718c00:#d75f00:#4271ae:#8959a8:#3e999f:#4d4d4c:#969694:#d7005f:#718c00:#d75f00:#4271ae:#8959a8:#34e2e2:#f5f5f5"

This will provide you with a Zsh like this:
