Get Dracula Approximate Theme in Vim

I really like the Dracula theme.
I wanted to use the theme for when I use Vim but it’s not a color scheme native to Vim. You can get the official theme for Vim¹ but it involves a number of steps.

After perusing the color schemes native to Vim, I found evening to be really close to the Dracula theme but for the background color which is easy enough to change with
highlight Normal guibg=#10121e
where hex code #10121e is a background color to my taste.

This post is for reference and for anyone out there interested in trying a Dracula approximate theme for Vim.

Same as the ‘evening’ color scheme but for the changing of the background color
