The Vim color scheme Tomorrow Night Deepblue is a beautiful deep blue variant of the Tomorrow Night color scheme, which is renowned for its elegant color palette that is pleasing to the eyes (The colorscheme was previously called tomorrow-night-seablue).
The Tomorrow Night Deepblue colorscheme features a deep blue background color that creates a calming atmosphere. The contrasting colors make it easy to distinguish between different elements of your code. The tomorrow-night-deepblue colorscheme is also a great choice for programmer who miss the blue themes that were trendy a few years ago.
