Zenburn for Emacs is a direct port of the popular Zenburn theme for vim, developed by Jani Nurminen. It's my personal belief (and that of its many users I presume) that it's one of the best low-contrast color themes out there and that it is exceptionally easy on the eyes. This theme uses the "new" (it used to be new several years ago when I created this package) built-in theming support available starting with Emacs 24.1. You can support the development of Zenburn for Emacs via GitHub Sponsors, ko-fi, PayPal and Patreon. Zenburn for Emacs is already bundled into Emacs Prelude. If you're a Prelude user - you're probably already using Zenburn, since it's Prelude's default color theme. You can load Zenburn at any time by M-x load-theme zenburn. If you'd like to tweak the theme by changing just a few colors, you can do so by defining new values in the zenburn-override-colors-alist variable before loading the theme.
