This is basically the quiet colorscheme for 8 colors, i.e. monochrome, with some additional tweaks. I use Apple Terminal which supports 256 colors (and ligatures!), but I basically want a monochrome color scheme, except for diff mode. The builtin quiet colorscheme is almost perfect and very well crafted, but I wanted to incorporate my own tweaks (e.g., no bg color for Normal or floating windows -- LSP hover and Pmenu) and to dismiss some other colors that I don't really need. Here it is: a more quiet colorscheme for tty nerds.

P.S. I came across quiet2 while updating this gist, but I haven't tested it.
