Neovim has support for embedded terminals. However, the colors do not inherit from the parent shell settings, and end up looking funky. This commit adds 16 color support for Neovim's terminal. See: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2897#issuecomment-115464516
gruvbox is heavily inspired by badwolf, jellybeans and solarized.
Designed as a bright theme with pastel 'retro groove' colors and light/dark mode switching in the way of solarized. The main focus when developing gruvbox is to keep colors easily distinguishable, contrast enough and still pleasant for the eyes.
