Too colourful?

[FabioAntunes]

I'm finding these templates a bit too colourful if we compare them to the original ones. Cycling through the various templates I noticed that neutral colours such as white are not very commonly used.

Take base16-nord for example:

In http://chriskempson.com/projects/base16/

In vim with vim-base16:

In nvim with nvim-base16 with treesitter turned off:

In nvim with nvim-base16 with treesitter turned on:

And this is pretty much the same with all the schemes

There's a few things going on here.

First for the regular non-treesitter highlights, most of the highlight groups are the same, but there was a few places where I diverged from vim-base16 such as the string in your screenshot (I would argue green strings is more correct than red based on styling guidelines), line number column, and a few other places. That being said, when I get the chance I'll go back through the normal highlight groups since I may have diverged a bit too much since I focused on following the styling guidelines than following the other base16 repos.

Second, the treesitter highlights had no guide so again I focused on styling guidelines which is quite vague. For example, the html tag in vim-base16 uses base05 while I use base0A for TSTag, it's not clear which colour should be used (it could also be base08). Again, when i get the chance I'll take a look through to see if I can get things closer to the guidelines.

Third, you won't see much normal colour when using treesitter, everything is a node in the syntax tree.
