Nabat Palette

The official Nabat color palette — warm, golden tones inspired by Persian rock candy. For terminals, editors, and any app.

Variants

• Nabat Dark — for dark screens and terminals.
• Nabat Light — for light screens and bright rooms.

Both flavors share the same accent colors. Only the base tones change.

Documentation

• Spec — full color spec with families, variants, and ANSI mapping.
• Style Guide — rules for ports about which color goes in which UI role.
• Port Guide — how to add a new port.

Source of Truth

The machine-readable palette lives in palette/:

• palette/nabat-dark.json — dark flavor.
• palette/nabat-light.json — light flavor.
• palette/nabat.json — both flavors in one file.
• palette/schema.json — JSON Schema for validation.

See palette/README.md for how to consume these files.

Ports

Ports are not built yet. Planned:

• Terminal: Alacritty, Kitty, Wezterm, Ghostty, iTerm2.
• Editor: VS Code, Neovim, Helix, Zed.
• CLI: built into the nabat Go framework.

If you want to build a port, please open an issue first. This way we can keep the colors the same across all tools.
