Observer word "feel" you are using. "Feel" refers to a subjective
perception. As I understand original author's page, original colors were
"calculated" not intended to work with each other. The goal was to offer
same contrast when using both light and dark colors. Whether that amount
of contrast is enough, good, likeable etc is probably anyone's personal
preferance.

For that reason Solarized, among other themes can be included and left
for people to switch if they prefer.
