Dimidium is a standard-looking terminal color scheme, adjusted to have uniform visibility across all colors.
It aims to be a solid default for terminals.
📣 News: Dimidium is now built into Windows Terminal (since v1.23.12681.0). 🥳

By adjusting traditional color scheme, Dimidium solves visibility issues while preserving their essence.
Crafted with CAM16, it considers the perceptual aspects(lightness, hue) of human color vision.

By reducing perceptual lightness differences by half, common issues such as too dark blues and excessively vibrant greens have been resolved.
(Note: 'Dimidium' is Latin for 'half'.)

Hue differences were equalized to maximize color variation.
Introducing hue offsets between normal/bright colors ensures even better distinction.
