Termcolors.nvim – generate colors for your terminal from any Neovim colorscheme :rainbow:

This Neovim plugin generates color schemes for terminal emulators. It is primarily meant to help Neovim colorscheme creators to easily provide good-looking matching terminal colorschemes as extras. It can also be used by end users, to create an appropriate config for their terminal in case the colorscheme of their choice does not come with such extra themes on its own. Is your editor already pretty, but your terminal seems off? You might want to give termcolors.nvim a try!

termcolors.nvim output, additionally colorized by colorizer.lua

Installation

Install the plugin using your favorite plugin manager, for example [vim-plug]:

Plug 'psliwka/termcolors.nvim'

Usage

1. Configure Neovim to use colorsheme of your choice
2. Ensure your 'background' is set correctly (i.e. is set to dark or light to match your actual colorscheme background)
3. Run :TermcolorsShow command and copy resulting code to your terminal's config file
4. Restart your terminal, or tell it to reload its config file (e.g. ctrl+cmd+. for kitty)

Development status

Right now, this project is in its infancy. It supports the following terminal emulators:

• kitty

Additionally, its heuristics for detecting proper colors for various terminal elements may not work for all colorschemes. So far, it has been tested and confirmed to work for the following themes:

• doom-one.nvim

These two lists will hopefully expand in the future. Feel encouraged to submit PRs! :wink:
