A simple vim terminal colorscheme that focuses on using named colors and not direct hex or RGB values. This essentially defers to the user's terminal for final coloring (such as iterm color schemes, of which one is provided). Colors are chosen for visual distinction amongst syntax elements.

An iterm color scheme is also included which is a dark color scheme that is a slight variation on the standard iterm color scheme for better legibility, particularly with the blue.

Below is the colors from the provided iterm color scheme but as CSS with the RGB components listed.

.black.normal { color: rgb(0, 0, 0); }
.red.normal { color: rgb(201, 80, 75); }
.green.normal { color: rgb(49, 195, 56); }
.yellow.normal { color: rgb(199, 196, 0); }
.blue.normal { color: rgb(83, 128, 217); }
.magenta.normal { color: rgb(200, 98, 199); }
.cyan.normal { color: rgb(99, 198, 199); }
.white.normal { color: rgb(199, 199, 199); }
.black.bright { color: rgb(104, 104, 104); }
.red.bright { color: rgb(255, 110, 103); }
.green.bright { color: rgb(157, 234, 122); }
.yellow.bright { color: rgb(255, 230, 89); }
.blue.bright { color: rgb(126, 173, 255); }
.magenta.bright { color: rgb(255, 119, 255); }
.cyan.bright { color: rgb(96, 253, 255); }
.white.bright { color: rgb(255, 255, 255); }

The use of primary colors reminds me of kids toys. The deference to the user's terminal for final coloring means the scheme is mostly a "building block" for your final color scheme.
