base16-vim VS ayu-vim

This repository is deprecated and has been superseded by https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim

You can checkout these two github repos for base16 color schemes.

I use flavours, it generates config files for base16 colourschemes.

chriskempson/base16-vim

The one I use is from this repo: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim, which is built on the "base16 system" https://github.com/chriskempson/base16.

I want to have a consistent theme between my terminal and vim so I use Base16 Shell and Base16 Vim. But whenever I open vim without typing it in the command line, ie through dolphin or ranger or vifm the theme gets lost and turns into the blue mess.

If none of those interest you, check out base16. There are tons of colorschemes in that repo, one will probably suit your fancy.

https://github.com/chriskempson/base16 for the themes

Just use the matching base16-vim theme. https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim/

Yesterday I started moving my config from vimscript to lua. I'm using ayu-vim (and loading it with lazy.nvim, if that matters), and on the Github page it lists a combination of a function and an autocmd to override some theme colors.

I like your idea so much that I'm gonna look into implementing it in the ayu branch I currently maintain (https://github.com/Luxed/ayu-vim). I'm not a fan of it for some reason, but I agree with what it brings. I could argue that the theme has other options anyway, so you'll most likely need somewhere to put those too. But I'll at least look into it
