"Prot16" is a collection of themes that use a 16-colour palette. Each item is available in distinct light and dark variants. For more, see https://protesilaos.com/schemes

If you use Arch Linux or derivatives, you can get these themes from the AUR.

Open a new terminal and add the following command. This will download and then run the install script. The script will copy all the .theme files into their relevant location, specifically /usr/share/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes/. It requires sudo privileges.

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/protesilaos/prot16-xfce4-terminal/master/install-prot16-xfce-terminal.sh | sh

Run the following command

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/protesilaos/prot16-xfce4-terminal/master/remove-prot16-xfce-terminal.sh | sh

Open the Xfce4 Terminal, navigate to Preferences > Colours. The themes should be available in the Presets section.

Prot16 is also available for Vim, which makes for a nice combo with the Xfce4 terminal. Refer to the item pages in https://protesilaos.com/schemes for the full list of available ports.
