BASE16-COLORS.md

Colors + Fonts

Environment configuration with:

• Base16 Gorgoroth ANSI palette in shell (Warp, iTerm2, etc.)
• Neovim (NVChad) using the Base16 Gorgoroth colorscheme
• Yazi TUI file manager following terminal palette
• Indent-Blankline.nvim disabled to avoid autocolor errors

1. Shell & Terminal ANSI Palette (Base16 Gorgoroth)

1. Install base16-manager (if not already):

   brew tap chrokh/tap
   brew install base16-manager

2. Install the shell template:

   base16-manager install chriskempson/base16-shell

3. Install the Black-Metal template (In this case for Gorgoroth):

https://github.com/metalelf0/base16-black-metal-scheme

base16-manager install metalelf0/base16-black-metal-scheme

4. Sourcing shell-init in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

!! This is for setting up the whole shell, NOT the terminal emulator.

The previous step places the themes under $HOME/.base16-manager/, so we only need to source them.

In ~/.zshrc:

 source ~/.base16-manager/chriskempson/base16-shell/scripts/base16-black-metal-gorgoroth.sh

3. Neovim (NVChad) Configuration

I never had this to work, so I sticked with monochrome nvchad theme for now. (NOT colorscheme)

2. Disable Indent-Blankline

If indent-blankline is causing you problems, disable it in ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/plugins.lua

In ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/plugins.lua, add:

return {
  {
    "lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim",
    enabled = false,
  },
}

4. Yazi Configuration

Having the underlying terminal set up with base16 colors, we set yazi to just use the terminal palette.

1. Edit ~/.config/yazi/theme.toml:

   [flavor]
   dark = "ansi"
