Adding color with colorizer & rainbow

Install colorizer

Plug 'norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua'

Configuration

Create a place for lua plugins

mkdir %userprofile%\.config\vim\lua
type nul > %userprofile%\.config\vim\lua\plug-colorizer.lua

Add the following:

require'colorizer'.setup(
  {'*';},
  {
    rgb      = true;         -- #rgb hex codes
	  rrggbb   = true;         -- #rrggbb hex codes
	  names    = true;         -- "name" codes like blue
	  rrggbbaa = true;         -- #rrggbbaa hex codes
	  rgb_fn   = true;         -- css rgb() and rgba() functions
	  hsl_fn   = true;         -- css hsl() and hsla() functions
	  css      = true;         -- enable all css features: rgb_fn, hsl_fn, names, rgb, rrggbb
	  css_fn   = true;         -- enable all css *functions*: rgb_fn, hsl_fn
  })

Remember to source in init.vim, but a little differently this time

lua require'plug-colorizer'

# if you see an error regarding lua dll, install `lua` using chocolatey
choco install lua

Note

This will not work if the file doesn't have and extension i.e. .txt .py. js .css

If you want to enable it you can do so like this:

:ColorizerAttachToBuffer

Cool Note

You can increment and decrement in vim with c-a and c-x

just hover over a number in normal mode

r also work great

Lua Note

Install luarocks if you want to use with coc-lua

Examples

Enter the following to see what happens

#8F6fEa
rgb(113, 146, 230)
rgb(7%, 77%, 46%)
