That’s my point though. People abuse the other palettes. This is why we can’t have nice things.

- tombh 1y agoI've never actually made a palette, but it just doesn't seem practical to me to expect theme creators to always find a contrast-safe 16 colour palettes. I would imagine that it even seriously restricts the range of themes that can be made. I can imagine that such a thing is possible for smaller palettes like say 3 colours though, but then that's not actually useful for UIs. I think the fact is that small palettes come from the days of lower resources, not from efficient program design.
- hnlmorg 1y agoThere are already plenty of 16-colour palettes available. Literally thousands of them. And it takes all of about 10 seconds to search for “$TERM theme”. The problem isn’t the lack of themes. The problem is CLI/TUI developers who think their random pet project is more important than their users accessibility needs and colour preferences.
