Note also that in cases where the background and foreground can be +specified as a pair value, text can be highlighted using a combination of +base02:base1. The L\*a\*b lightness difference between base03:base0 and +base02:base1 is identical by design, resulting in identical readability against +both normal and highlighted backgrounds. An example use case is folded text in +Vim which uses base02 for the background and base1 for the foreground. + +The values in this example are simply inverted in the case of a light +background. |
