Philosophy
Sora sits between Tokyo Night's saturation and Lume's muted pastels. The background is near-black with a cool blue undertone, deep enough for OLED. Syntax colors are muted but readable - they don't compete with each other.
The signature ethereal cyan (#80c8e0) for functions is lighter and softer than Tokyo Night's blue, cooler than Lume's lavender. A single warm accent - gold (#d4b878) for constants and numbers - acts like a star against the cool palette. That one warm point in a field of cool tones is what gives Sora its look.
Eight named accents, each with a clear role. No neon, no Christmas tree.
Installation

lazy = false,
priority = 1000,
opts = {},
config = function(_, opts)
require("sora").setup(opts)
vim.cmd("colorscheme sora")
end,
}packer.nvim

vim.cmd("colorscheme sora")Configuration
Defaults - pass only what you want to change:
require("sora").setup({
transparent = false, -- transparent background (also strips float/statusline bg)
italic = true, -- italics globally
italic_comments = true, -- italics for comments (ignored if italic = false)
on_colors = function(colors) end, -- override palette before highlights build on_highlights = function(hl, colors) end, -- override highlight groups after they build })
Recipes
Transparent background
require("sora").setup({ transparent = true })No italics
require("sora").setup({ italic = false })
-- or keep italics everywhere but comments:
require("sora").setup({ italic_comments = false })Pure black OLED background
require("sora").setup({
on_colors = function(colors)
colors.bg = "#000000"
colors.bg_float = "#000000"
colors.bg_statusline = "#000000"
end,
})Tweak a syntax color
oncolors runs before highlights build, so changing a palette key repaints every group that uses it. Keys live in lua/sora/palette.lua.
require("sora").setup({
on_colors = function(colors)
colors.func = "#a0d8f0" -- brighter functions
colors.string = colors.sage
end,
})Override highlight groups
on_highlights runs last and wins over everything. Use it for per-group control.
require("sora").setup({
on_highlights = function(hl, colors)
hl.Comment = { fg = colors.fg_comment, italic = true }
hl.LineNr = { fg = colors.fg_gutter }
hl.CursorLineNr = { fg = colors.cyan, bold = true }
hl.FloatBorder = { fg = colors.border, bg = colors.bg_float }
end,
})Palette
