yellow color seems out of place in Gotham color pallet about vim-gotham HOT 10 CLOSED

@alexanderjeurissen I have absolutely no design knowledge of any kind so I basically just put together a bunch of colors that made sense to me together :). You may be right, the yellow could indeed look a little off. If you have any suggestions, I'm very open to them!

maybe using the bright red color in the airline theme instead of yellow. I'm not sure how that would look though so I'll have to try that out.

Is the yellow color used anywhere else besides the airline theme insert mode ? otherwise we could replace it with another color. I'll also have a go at experimenting with the saturation of the yellow color maybe I can tweak it into awesomeness.

I haven't worked hands on on gotham for a while now, so I'm not sure if yellow is used only in the airline theme. Not sure about red in the airline theme, as red looks error-y and I'm not sure that would be good.

Maybe toying with the saturation of yellow is a safe approach if you manage to make it "keep the spirit" of gotham, whatever that means :D

I did some more research but changing the yellow hue / brightness only makes it weird compared to the green en orange colors which are also more "pastel" like.

I've also noticed the the yellow color is used in other places tmux uses yellow by default in the menus for example.I think that the best solution is changing the airline theme colors and not solve this in the terminal theme.

I also found another use for the yellow color as can be seen in my new tmux status line which fits in quite nicely with the rest of Gotham 😄

long story short, I'll have a look at the airline theme colors and will update this issue if I find a solution or give up ;)

Sounds like a plan 👍

@alexanderjeurissen wanted to ask what that neat, tmux status line is. then thought the guy might have his dotfiles on github. and indeed, he does. 👌thank you!
