gruvbox-plain uses a limited subset of the gruvbox dark mode color palette. The table below shows the general usage of the different colors.

Variables, properties, plain text	#ebdbb2	#ebdbb2
Keywords, operators	#d3869b	#fe8019
Types, classes, namespaces, components, tags	#83a598	#fabd2f

For edge cases in languages where these may not apply, the color deemed most appropriate has been chosen. This can always be overridden under Preferences -> Editor -> Color Scheme in IntelliJ/JetBrains IDEs, or editor.tokenColorCustomizations in VSCode's settings.json.
