These assets enable consistent color schemes and visual synchronization across diverse terminal applications. The repository includes tools and mechanisms for terminal color theme application to modify the visual appearance of terminal emulator software. These capabilities cover general terminal color customization and the management of specific iTerm2 color profiles.

This project is a cross-editor theme library and mapper that provides a curated collection of syntax highlighting color schemes. It uses a JSON theme specification to define visual roles and color palettes as immutable data structures, ensuring these definitions remain consistent across different software output targets. The system functions as a declarative style generator, translating abstract color definitions into the specific configuration formats required by various programming environments. By using a template-based approach, it maps a single source of truth for color definitions to multiple text editors and highlighting libraries. The project covers the synchronization of visual styles and the standardization of syntax highlighting across different machines and editors. It handles the mapping of curated schemes to specific editor formats to maintain a uniform visual experience.

kitty-themes is a theme manager and color scheme gallery for the Kitty terminal. It provides a library of predefined hexadecimal color palettes and a tool to browse and apply these visual themes to the terminal interface. The project enables live previewing of different color configurations in a running terminal instance or a separate window before permanently saving changes. It functions as a shell-based configuration tool that injects color variables into configuration files and triggers immediate refreshes via system signals.

Pywal is an image-based theme engine and dynamic color scheme generator that extracts dominant colors from images to create coordinated system-wide color palettes. It functions as a cross-application theme synchronizer and terminal color palette manager, updating interface colors and environment configurations in real-time. The system synchronizes generated palettes across third-party software, window managers, and supported hardware, including RGB backlight controllers for keyboards and laptops. It integrates wallpaper management by applying a source image as the system background while simultaneously extracting its color palette. Capabilities include template-driven configuration for exporting colors to specific applications, developer format exports in JSON and CSS, and the execution of post-processing scripts for custom setup tasks. The tool also supports theme library management, color mode switching between light and dark schemes, and the restoration of previously used palettes.

Gogh is a terminal emulator color scheme manager and command-line theme installer. It provides a collection of color palettes and tools to browse and apply visual themes across different terminal environments. The project utilizes a standardized library of themes defined in YAML format, allowing for a structured collection of color schemes. It includes a contrast validator that checks these schemes against WCAG accessibility standards to ensure legible text and background contrast. The system covers terminal styling and customization through an interactive selection interface, terminal detection, and the application of hex color schemes to the system environment.

Gogh is a command line theme manager and a collection of curated color palettes for various Linux and macOS terminal emulators. It provides a library of configuration files used to synchronize visual styles across different terminal environments. The project includes a terminal accessibility checker to verify that chosen color schemes meet visual contrast and readability standards. It allows for the creation of custom theme definitions using a templating system that maps hex values to text and background colors. The toolset covers terminal emulator customization through a command line interface for browsing, selecting, and installing themes. This is achieved via automated scripts and interactive menus that apply color schemes directly to terminal configuration files.

tokyonight.nvim is a Lua-based Neovim plugin that provides a collection of dark and light color schemes and UI themes.
