Emacs immaterial-theme

Note: for good results in a pure terminal environment, consider installing Emacs 26 and enable truecolors in your terminal.

Immaterial is an emacs color theme that comes in two flavors: immateral-dark and immaterial-light.

In its infancy it was loosely based on the principles of Google's Material design, but that's all immaterial ...

Since then it has evolved to become a theme focused on readability and a sober amount of coloring; enough to help you quickly grasp syntactical structure and identify key elements without bombarding your senses with an undue amount of colors (a lot of themes seem to take a "more is more" approach to coloring, ending up in a christmas tree where no element stands out from the rest).
