Sample screenshots of 'randomhue' color scheme which uses 'mini.hues' with **randomly generated** background and foreground of same hue (color will change on every `:colorscheme randomhue` call):
## Example configurations
```lua
-- Choose background and foreground
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#351721', foreground = '#cdc4c6' }) -- red
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#361a0d', foreground = '#cdc5c1' }) -- orange
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#2c2101', foreground = '#c9c6c0' }) -- yellow
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#17280e', foreground = '#c4c8c2' }) -- green
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002923', foreground = '#c0c9c7' }) -- cyan
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc' }) -- azure
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#19213a', foreground = '#c4c6cd' }) -- blue
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#2b1a33', foreground = '#c9c5cb' }) -- purple
-- Different number of non-base hues
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', n_hues = 6 })
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', n_hues = 4 })
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', n_hues = 2 })
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', n_hues = 0 })
-- Different text saturation
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', saturation = 'low' })
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', saturation = 'medium' })
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', saturation = 'high' })
-- Choose accent color
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', accent = 'yellow' })
require('mini.hues').setup({ background = '#002734', foreground = '#c0c8cc', accent = 'blue' })
```
## Features
- Required to set two base colors: background and foreground. Their shades and other non-base colors are computed to be as much perceptually different as reasonably possible.
- Configurable:
- Number of hues used for non-base colors (from 0 to 8).
- Saturation level ('low', 'medium', 'high').
- Accent color used for some selected UI elements.
- Plugin integration (can be selectively enabled for faster startup).
- Random generator for base colors. Powers `randomhue` color scheme.
- Lua function to compute palette used in color scheme.
Supported highlight groups:
- All built-in UI and syntax groups.
- Built-in Neovim LSP and diagnostic.
- Tree-sitter.
- LSP semantic tokens.
- Plugins (either with explicit definition or by verification that default highlighting works appropriately):

## Installation
This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository.
There are two branches to install from:
- `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
- `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch.
Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):
| Github repo | Branch | Code snippet |
|---|---|---|
| 'mini.nvim' library | Main | Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation |
| Stable | ||
| Standalone plugin | Main | add('echasnovski/mini.hues') |
| Stable | add({ source = 'echasnovski/mini.hues', checkout = 'stable' }) |
| Github repo | Branch | Code snippet |
