How to override terminal colors?

[pkazmier]

I'm trying to figure out how to override some of the terminal colors without changing the color palette. I was hoping to find a terminal_overrides option, so I could do something like:

terminal_overrides = function(C)
    return {
        terminal_color_6 = C.mauve,
        terminal_color_14 = C.mauve,
      }
    end

I want to swap out sky for mauve, but I don't want to change the color palette as it looks great everywhere else. This is for a custom variant #323 (comment) I'm building for myself. Thanks!

Changing terminal colors in neovim won't change them in your terminal emulator. If you want to change your terminal palette, you should modify settings of your terminal application.

When I open a terminal inside of neovim, catppuccin allows me to enable overriding terminal colors with its own palette via term_colors = true. So I’m trying to find a way to override what colors it uses by default.

I've figured this out. Will submit a small PR to allow users to override the terminal colors that catppuccin assigns:

+   if type(user_terminal[flavour]) == "function" then user_terminal[flavour] = user_terminal[flavour](C) end
+   theme.terminal = vim.tbl_deep_extend(
+       "keep",

    if type(user_highlights[flavour]) == "function" then user_highlights[flavour] = user_highlights[flavour](C) end
    theme.custom_highlights = vim.tbl_deep_extend(

Then, if one uses term_colors = true, they have the ability to override the colors that catppuccin assigns the terminal via:

    term_colors = true,
    terminal_overrides = {
      all = function(C)
        return {
          terminal_color_3 = C.mauve,
          terminal_color_11 = C.mauve,
        }
      end,
      mocha = function(C)
        return {
          terminal_color_5 = C.pink,
          terminal_color_13 = C.pink,
        }
      end,
    },

Submitted #678 for this feature.
