A CLI tool that extracts colors from images and generates terminal colorschemes for kitty, AwesomeWM, Waybar, dunst, and rofi.

Repo: Codeberg (primary) · GitHub (mirror)

What it does

Give it an image, get a matching colorscheme.

colorgen wallpaper.jpg --preview --config kitty --theme dark --apply

It extracts dominant colors using K-means clustering, maps them to a 19-color terminal palette (background, foreground, cursor, colors 0-15), and writes config files for your tools.

Supported targets

• kitty - terminal emulator color config
• AwesomeWM - window manager theme colors (awesomewm-basileia layout)
• Waybar - status bar colors via @define-color CSS variables
• dunst - notification daemon colors via dunstrc.d drop-in
• rofi - launcher color theme (expects adi1090x/rofi layout)
