The theme comes in three variants, “Soft Light”, “Medium Light” and “Hard Light”. Soft and Medium are even yellower. This is so often the case with Gruvbox themes. I just want a white background, is that so unusual? 🫠
(Yes, that’s a screenshot of my terminal with the theme applied. Yes, I am one of those monsters that use a terminal with light theme.)

I use my own theme gruvbox_super_dark… Literally Gruvbox Hard Dark, with a fully #000000 background.
You’re transgression has been noted. The gruvbox police will be over to collect four shortly for light theme crimes. /j
I’ll be honest I don’t even know vhat gruvbox is.
As far as I’m aware, it started out with a Vim color scheme, which looks like this:
https://github.com/morhetz/gruvboxAnd yeah, that’s just become a really popular theme, which got ported to virtually anything that can be themed.
Personally, I really like the color palette, but not that so many takes on it have text that’s horrendously difficult to read…“Hard” (high contrast) should use the bg0_h value for the background: #f9f5d7 or rgb(249,245,215).
This is a light “off white”. If you have blue blocking mode or a night color mode enabled, the yellowing effect will be exaggerated.
For what is worth, I don’t think gruvbox makes a good light theme because it’s pretty low contrast especially compared to a lot of more recent themes. I say this as a die hard gruvbox dark user.
Just a popular color scheme
You should try this out. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve been meaning to.
Do people still use light themes? Wild.
For bright situations, 100%.
Like working on a sunny balcony is far more comfortable with a light theme than a dark theme. Perhaps with a really good AMOLED screen I could still vibe with the dark, but in general I’d go light with (particularly) bright surroundings.
