Different editors/terminals use different colors
After stumbling upon non-palette colors in #60 and #63, I just ran a quick grep over the files in this repository to get an overview of all color hex-codes used.
Here is a list of the files that include RGB color codes and the colors they use:

Comparing the colors used in the different implementations of the theme, it turns out that the default foreground and background colors are the only ones that are used in all implementations. The following table gives for each color the number of files it was found in.

In order to make the Lucario color theme more consistent across different Editors/Terminals, I think there are two steps to be taken:
-
Expand the "official" color palette. I mean all of the above listed implementations use more than the 6 basic colors and providing more "official" colors would reduce the clutter. For example it might make sense to define a 16-color palette that can be used by terminal schemes in conjunction with the foreground and background color.
-
Overhaul all implementations so that they use only colors from the expanded color palette.
I really like the overall looks of lucario and I use it for several applications and I would love it to be more consistent, so I'd be willing to invest some time on this issue. However, I don't think I would be much help when it comes to expanding the color palette, but I could definitely help out updating the different implementations.
Sorry for the lengthy issue, looking forward to hear your opinion on this topic.
I support changing the official color palette to include all the necessary colors. Once the official color pallete is complete, I will also change my termux implementation to be consistent with this new palette.
