I think this is correct.

One thing that I've noticed is when using the color scheme is that a lot of terminal prompts (in dark mode) use blue backgrounds (#5aa2e0) with white text (#c3d2df) as part the prompt. In that system, it's a bit low on contrast: only 1.77:1.

Switching the blues (so #006fd1) around gets you a contrast ratio of 3.24:1, but doesn't look as nice. Switching the bright blue to something like #2475bc (so the same hue but darker) gets you a 3:13:1 contrast ratio and looks a lot nicer.

Although to my eye something like #2e77b8 looks even nicer. But I'll leave that up to you, this is the colors as-is unless I've messed something up.

And a screenshot to go with it, showing #2e77b8.

Oh, also a lot of schemes (in oh-my-zsh) use "bright black" for autocompletion, and that doesn't work with the scheme being darker in every color. So I use #556479 for bright black and that works great.

As mentioned on Mastodon, the theme I was thinking of posting, with my few tweaks:

No worries if you'd rather I didn't post it, I'd understand.
