clrsync – colour scheme manager and generator

clrsync is a colour scheme manager for keeping the appearance of multiple applications synchronised from a common palette.

It supports both graphical and command-line workflows. Existing colour schemes can be applied directly, while integration with external generators allows new palettes to be derived from images or source colours and then rendered into configuration files through templates.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Provides both command-line and graphical interfaces.
  • Applies colour schemes across multiple applications from a central configuration.
  • Integrates with Hellwal to generate palettes from images.
  • Integrates with Matugen for image- and source-colour-based generation.
  • Provides controls for generator-specific options including light and dark modes and contrast.
  • Uses configurable template files to produce application-specific output.
  • Supports colour variables in hexadecimal, RGB and HSL representations.
  • Includes separate component access for colour channels and other derived values.
  • Provides a graphical colour scheme editor with colour pickers.
  • Includes a template editor for modifying output definitions.
  • Offers live previews while editing a scheme.
  • Can execute configurable post-apply hooks to reload applications after their generated files change.
  • Includes example colour schemes and templates which can be adapted for individual desktop setups.
