Alacritty color schemes

Alacritty colors live in alacritty.toml. The exported TOML block defines primary, cursor, selection, normal, and bright colors.

What is a Alacritty theme?

To install a theme in Alacritty, download the theme file and follow the steps below; this page includes 112 ready-to-use palettes.

Each palette sets the background, foreground, cursor, selection, and the 16 ANSI colors used by prompts, Git, and editors. One palette is exported to six terminals, so colors stay consistent when you switch apps.

How does Alacritty load themes?

Open ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml. Replace the [colors] tables with the exported block, or include the file from your main config. This site generates the native file from one palette instead of copying an upstream theme file or screenshot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do Alacritty themes go?

Open ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml. Replace the [colors] tables with the exported block, or include the file from your main config.

Do I need to restart Alacritty after changing a theme?

Save; Alacritty reloads the configuration automatically. If the colors do not change, reopen the app or start a new terminal window.

Can I use the same Alacritty theme in another terminal?

Yes. Each palette is stored once and exported natively for Herdr App, Ghostty, Alacritty, Kitty, iTerm2, and Windows Terminal. The 16 ANSI colors stay the same; only the file format changes.

Are these Alacritty themes free to use?

Yes. Site code is MIT-licensed. Each palette keeps its upstream license; the theme page lists the author, source, and license before you download it.
