Flexoki 2.0 introduces 88 new colors that feel like watercolor pigments on paper. This is a continuation of my attempt to bring the feeling of analog color to digital emissive screens.

Flexoki is open source under the MIT license, and already available for most text editors, terminals, and many other apps. Flexoki 2.0 makes it into a more capable color system for UIs and more complex projects.

Flexoki 1.0 only provided the a range of values for the grayscale colors. What I have been working to solve since then is how to expand the palette to a full range of values for every color, without desaturating the pigment effect. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Flexoki emulates the feeling of pigment on paper by exponentially increasing intensity as colors get lighter or darker. This makes the colors feel vibrant and warm, rather than washed out.

The darker values in Flexoki 2.0 also follow this exponential colorfulness to maintain a highly pigmented, natural feeling.

@kepano beautiful colours. Would it be possible to apply this approach to a particular set of corporate colours automatically? Or is the process too manual to be replicated easily for a given set of base colours?

@kepano This is so awesome, when I first started using obsidian a few years ago, I went into the .obsidian/snippets/obsidian.css and setup a color scheme I liked for my vault folders. I loved how accessible this was and how it's been working since. Now I see you've done even more with the minimal theme and broken all of these things out into settings you can import/export. This is just beautiful, I look forward to customizing this to my personalized color scheme <3 #Obsidian
