EasyMotion coloring in vim with Solarized theme?

Question

I'm using the Solarized theme for vim (which is amazing), but the color defaults for EasyMotion are, well, downright unreadable.

When I activate EasyMotion, the leader letters are clearly visible (bright red, with Solarized Dark), but the words they key to are barely a shade different from the background (dark blue against slightly darker blue background).

How can I change this to be more readable?

SOLUTION: Edit your .vimrc file like so:

A la section 4.5 in the docs for the plugin.

Answer 1

The author of EasyMotion has written excellent documentation on what is possible with EasyMotion. The helptags that stand out to me are EasyMotion_do_shade and easymotion-custom-hl. These define whether or not to highlight the shaded text and how to hilight the shaded and target text.
