scampilot for Omarchy

A light theme for Omarchy, built from scampilot.de.
White canvas, deep indigo ink, brand yellow.

---

Install

omarchy theme install https://github.com/Pixel-Process-UG/omarchy-scampilot-theme

Omarchy strips the omarchy- prefix and the -theme suffix, so this lands as scampilot and applies immediately. To switch back to it later:

omarchy theme set scampilot

Two backgrounds ship with the theme. Cycle them with omarchy theme bg next.

Colours

scampilot.de names its whole palette, so most of this is lifted straight from the site:

Theme key	Site token	Value
background	canvas	#FFFFFF
lighter_background	surface	#F5F5F7
foreground	ink	#050038
light_foreground	slate	#4B4A60
dark_foreground	stone	#8E8DA0
muted	muted-text	#B5B4C2
selection	surface-yellow	#FFF6CC
blue / accent	brand-blue	#4262FF
brown	coral-dark	#8C2E1E
red	verdict-danger	#C0392B
bright_green	verdict-safe	#1E8E3E
bright_yellow	verdict-warn	#B7791F

Where the brand yellow went

#FFD02F is the site's theme-color and the first thing you notice on the page, but it scores 1.47:1 against white. On scampilot.de it is never text. It is a highlighter swipe behind ink, and the buttons are indigo.

So the theme uses it the same way, in the two places that need no contrast ratio at all:

• selection is #FFF6CC, the site's own highlight tint, so selecting text in your terminal looks like the marker stroke on the homepage.
• hyprland_active_border is a #FFD02F to #F5C500 gradient, which puts the brand yellow around your focused window.

accent is brand-blue instead, because Omarchy also uses accent for selected text in the shell, where yellow would be unreadable.

Contrast

The site pairs each playful brand colour with a darker counterpart, so the bright_* slots take the brand values and the base slots take the darker ones. Seven of the eight base colours clear 4.5:1 on white.

yellow is the exception at 4.60 only because I darkened it to #A06A12. A readable yellow on white is a known problem for light themes: the stock Omarchy light themes sit at 2.0 to 2.5 here, so this is deliberately stricter than the neighbours, at the cost of reading more like gold than lemon.

See preview.png for every value.

Backgrounds

Both are 3840×2160.

1-verdict.png rebuilds the homepage hero, marker swipe and all.

2-highlighter.png is the quiet one, and puts the same swipe behind the product name.

What's in here

Only colour.

colors.toml       palette, the source of truth
icons.theme       Yaru-yellow
chromium.theme    255,255,255
backgrounds/      two wallpapers

colors.toml drives everything else. Omarchy generates the configs for Alacritty, Ghostty, Kitty, foot, btop, helix, Neovim, VS Code, Obsidian, Chromium and the Omarchy shell from it through its own templates.

That is deliberate. Omarchy drops any file that runs code from a theme you install with omarchy theme install, which means every *.lua, the four terminal configs and vscode.json. This theme ships none of them, so a clone gives you what you would get writing the theme by hand: an aether.nvim colourscheme and a VS Code theme generated on your machine from the palette above, rather than a third-party colourscheme that only comes close.
