[feature request] Generation of color9-15

[ralismark]

Currently, pywal only generates 9 colours for the theme, with color9-15 being the same as color1-7. I saw #138, but it would be great if the higher colours were generated as lighter/brighter versions of the base colour set. wpgtk has something like this as "auto-adjust".

Would be fairly simple using the colorz backend which already does this by default.

Use wpgtk if you'd like more colors. The 15 colors the backends generate aren't all good. pywal picks the best groups found in testing hundreds of wallpapers on my machine.

What about the colors from ready-made themes? For example https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox has many colors yet when generated by pywal it's only 9. Is this a limitation that's just baked into pywal?

I know this is an old, closed issue, but I don't get the logic behind the decision. I understand that the 15 colors generated by the backends aren't all good, and that pywal chooses the 9 appropriate colors. Why then, can't pywal (either optionally or by default) just generate brighter versions of these colors?

That's really what the upper 8 colors of the terminal color palette are meant (or almost always used) for; colors 0-7 are normal/dark, and colors 8-15 are light versions of the previous 8 colors.

My pull request, #601, adds this functionality.
