mistpine.nvim is the Neovim port of mistpine: cool, misty grays over a deep blue-green night, with muted, earthy accents. It implements the mistpine spec exactly. Every color is a palette color or one of the spec's blends, and every syntax and diagnostic color clears 4.5:1 on the background.

• Neovim 0.10 or newer, tested on 0.10, 0.11, 0.12 and nightly
• Tree-sitter captures, LSP semantic tokens, diagnostics, inlay hints, diff and :checkhealth
• A lualine theme, picked up by theme = "auto"
• Terminal colors for :terminal
• Integrations for blink.cmp, bufferline.nvim, flash.nvim, gitsigns.nvim, grug-far.nvim, incline.nvim, lazy.nvim, mason.nvim, mini.icons, noice.nvim, render-markdown.nvim, snacks.nvim, telescope.nvim, trouble.nvim, which-key.nvim and zen-mode.nvim

Install

With lazy.nvim:

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

In LazyVim, add the spec above without config and set { "LazyVim/LazyVim", opts = { colorscheme = "mistpine" } }.

Options

setup() is optional. These are the defaults:

require("mistpine").setup({
  transparent = false, -- leave the editor background to the terminal
  dim_inactive = false, -- recessed background for inactive windows
  terminal_colors = true, -- g:terminal_color_0 … g:terminal_color_15
  italic = true, -- comments and strings
  bold = true, -- functions and headings
  plugins = { all = true }, -- or { all = true, telescope = false }
  on_colors = function(palette) end, -- change palette colors, e.g. palette.bg1 = "#000000"
  on_highlights = function(highlights, colors) end, -- change groups before they are set
})

Colors derived from a palette color follow it: changing bg1 in on_colors moves the editor background and recomputes the search and diff blends. require("mistpine").colors() returns the resolved colors for your own statusline or plugins (see :help mistpine.nvim). mistpine is dark only: :set background=light turns it off, as Vim does for dark-only schemes.

Screenshots

Development

make test          # unit tests, or: nvim --clean --headless -l tests/run.lua
make test-plugins  # real plugins (clones into .cache/plugins)
make sync          # palette.lua from the mistpine spec
make images        # README images (pnpm install first; Node 24+, Chromium)

lua/mistpine/palette.lua is generated from palette/mistpine.json; change colors upstream, then sync. Screenshots come from a real Neovim: pnpm render runs an isolated LazyVim under nvim --embed and draws its screen in Chromium.
