DIGITAL PRIMARIES THEMES
I like a little bit of personality in my user interfaces. My preferred aesthetic involves characteristics like high contrasts, bright primaries, 16 bit colours, vintage terminals, and ncurses. I don't care much about background images (preferring a black backdrop), gradients, transparencies, shadows, or skeuomorphic[1] design. I also don't care much about chromatic nuances. I like bold, bright colours. When I say "blue" I mean #0000FF. When I say "pink" I mean #FF00FF. When I say "green" I mean #00FF00. Colours like "emerald", "lilac", "turquoise", and "rose" don't exist to me. At least, they don't exist on my machines[2].

Urxvt Theme
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another theme based on simple colours. I love the look of this theme
in WeeChat and Lynx. It suffers from some issues, namely when blue
text is shown on black (difficult to read). Otherwise, this is a happy
palette for me to use.
<2023-05-28 Sun 22:44> Update: I've made a minor adjustment to the
blue. Although I fundamentally adore the idea that this these uses
pure and vivid RGB primaries it is not practical. Screenshots show the
theme with the true blue. To use the more practical color uncomment it
from the download.

[1] Skeuomorphic designs look like the physical thing they're trying to emulate. Like, a notebook app designed to look like a physical notebook. Eww.
