in reply to colours for syntax highlighting

Currently using Nord for most everything (emacs, iTerm). Comments are muted, identifiers stand out, keywords are different but don't. Before that it was zenburn which has similar "low contrast" colors.

I like dark backgrounds and those two work well without being angry fruit salad (e.g. dark background solarized feels slightly LOUD).

Update: Actually I do use the monokai (c.f. emacs version) for bat (a colourizing cat(1) drop in) which is marginally irate fruit salad.
