Installation

Simply copy the contents of your desired color scheme into your kitty configuration (kitty.conf). If you already have a color scheme defined, remove it or comment it out before importing the new scheme.

kitty.conf locations:

• Linux: ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
• macOS: ~/Library/Preferences/kitty/kitty.conf

Note that kitty will need to be restarted for the change to take effect.

256-color variants

The 256-color variants are for those who wish to use the 16 ANSI colors while retaining accuracy for bright color variants. This is achieved by making the bright variants mirror their regular counterparts instead of attempting to map them to other Base16 colors.

TL;DR: If some colors look strange or darker than normal, try the 256-color variant of your scheme of choice.
