Pywal Colorscheme

Although there are many great color schemes, I would love it if there was a pywal colorscheme that would use pywal's generated color scheme (located in .cache/wal/) to generate a color scheme for the editor.

Unfortunately, .toml files don't have any "include" feature that would allow a theme to source colors from another file.
Untill there is a feature to allow the editor to source colors from elsewhere, you can either use the base16 themes that will use the default 16 terminal colors, or you can use a pywal template to generate your theme.

In the meantime, here is the one I made to use as a pywal template:

"comment" = {{ fg = "color8" }}
"constant" = {{ fg = "color3", modifiers = ["bold"] }}
"constant.character.escape" = {{ fg = "color5" }}
"function" = {{ fg = "color1", modifiers = ["bold"]  }}
"keyword" = {{ fg = "color5", modifiers = ["bold"]  }}
"operator" = {{ fg = "color5" }}
"punctuation" = {{ fg = "color5" }}
"string" = {{ fg = "color2", modifiers = ["bold"] }}
"path" = {{ fg = "color2" }}
"string.regexp" = {{ fg = "color2" }}
"tag" = {{ fg = "color3", modifiers = ["bold"] }}
"type" = {{ fg = "color3", modifiers = ["bold"] }}
"type.enum.variant" = {{ fg = "foreground", modifiers = ["italic"] }}
"variable" = {{ fg = "foreground" }}
"variable.builtin" = {{ fg = "color8", modifiers = ["italic"] }}
"variable.parameter" = {{ fg ="color1", modifiers = ["italic"] }}
"identifier" = {{ fg ="color1", modifiers = ["italic"] }}
"members" = {{ fg = "color3", modifiers = ["bold"] }}

"diff.plus" = {{ fg = "color2" }}
"diff.delta" = {{ fg = "color8", bg = "color17" }}
"diff.minus" = {{ fg = "color1" }}

"ui.background" = {{ fg = "color5", bg = "color0" }}
"ui.cursor" =  {{ fg = "color0", bg = "color1", modifiers = ["dim"] }}
"ui.cursor.match" = {{ fg = "color5", modifiers = ["underlined"] }}
"ui.cursor.primary" = {{ bg = "color7", modifier = ["dim"] }}
"ui.help" = {{ fg = "foreground", bg = "color16" }}
"ui.linenr" = {{ fg = "color1" }}
"ui.linenr.selected" = {{ fg = "color7", bg = "color1" }}
"ui.menu" = {{ fg = "foreground", bg = "color17" }}
"ui.menu.selected" = {{ fg = "foreground", bg = "color1" }}
"ui.menu.highlighted" = {{ fg = "color6"}}
"ui.popup" = {{ fg = "color5", bg = "color17" }}
"ui.selection" = {{ bg = "color17" }}
"ui.selection.primary" = {{ bg = "color4", fg = "color0" }}
"ui.statusline" = {{ fg = "foreground", bg = "color16" }}
"ui.statusline.inactive" = {{ fg = "color8", bg = "color16" }}
"ui.text" = {{ fg = "foreground" }}
"ui.text.focus" = {{ fg = "color8" }}
"ui.window" = {{ fg = "color5" }}
"ui.virtual" = {{ fg = "color8" }}

"error" = {{ fg = "color1" }}
"warning" = {{ fg = "color3" }}
"info" = {{ fg = "color4" }}
"hint" = {{ fg = "color8" }}
"diagnostic" = {{ modifiers = ["underlined"] }}

"markup.heading" = {{ fg = "color3", modifiers = ["bold"] }}
"markup.list" = "color8"
"markup.bold" = {{ fg = "color1", modifiers = ["bold"] }}
"markup.italic" = {{ fg = "color8", modifiers = ["italic"] }}
"markup.link.url" = "color8"
"markup.link.text" = "color5"
"markup.quote" = {{ fg = "color8", modifiers = ["italic"] }}
"markup.raw" = {{ fg = "color8" }}

[palette]
foreground = "{color7}"
color0 = "{color0}"
color1 = "{color1}"
color2 = "{color2}"
color3 = "{color3}"
color4 = "{color4}"
color5 = "{color5}"
color6 = "{color6}"
color7 = "{color7}"
color8 = "{color8}"
color9 = "{color9}"
color10 = "{color10}"
color11 = "{color11}"
color12 = "{color12}"
color13 = "{color13}"
color14 = "{color14}"
color15 = "{color15}"
color16 = "#{background.darken(1)}"
color17 = "#{background.lighten(10)}"

Hope this helps.

If you just want to use your pywal colors in helix, adding the line theme = "base16_default" to the top of ~/.config/helix/config.toml worked beautifully for me.

@lazytanuki, thank you for the template! One question, as I am currently trying to implement this: How did you get those addition .darken() and .lighten() to work?
When I try to get pywal to create the theme from the template, it complains about not having the attribute darken().
