As a starter you might try the following steps:

  1. git clone https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-colortemplate
  2. cd vim-colortemplate && git checkout v2.3.3
  3. nvim --clean

In Neovim, execute the following commands:

:let g:colortemplate_toolbar=0
:set rtp+=/path/to/vim-colortemplate
:call colortemplate#import#run()

At this point, a new buffer should be created with a Colortemplate template based on the default color scheme, which you can save somewhere. That template can then be used in Vim with Colortemplate v3 (current master) to build a color scheme similar to Neovim's default color scheme. You will need to remove all the Neovim-specific highlight groups from the template and most likely adjust many other details.

That said, Vim has quiet and every color scheme falls back to no colors with set t_Co=0 and set notermguicolors. Personally, I'm not against another monochrome theme, but let's hear other opinions.

The color schemes in this repository are generated with Colortemplate. Also, you may want to take a look at the technical guidelines.
