Updated my check logic, base24-unikitty needs further checking, a few of the other base24 themese have a low contrast between foreground and background, just making sure that is intentional.

[JamyGolden]

This is a great list! All of these issues (including the base24 ones you mentioned) aren't intentional and we should fix them.

Someone else mentioned base16-tokyo-night-moon as an issue: https://github.com/tinted-theming/base16-zed/issues/3#event-19171336422. Linking to gather everything in one place.

[j-c-m]

It seems like one of the issues is from themes imported from other systems that have a seperate foreground & ansi7 (base05) definition, whereas the base16/24 themes don't. In their templates when the output system doesn't have a seperation, they actually put the foreground color in for ansi7.

[JamyGolden]

Yeah we just need to use the ansi7 for white and leave out the official theme foreground since base16 doesn’t support that difference.
