Bring Your Maps to Life with 28 Color Schemes!

Explore a collection of 28 iconic terminal color schemes repurposed for adventure! Designed for use with HexKit or any hex-based map-making software, these palettes are the perfect base for creating vibrant, dynamic landscapes for your campaigns or projects.

Each color scheme includes:

• A simple palette of base colors
• And for each color, a folder of subtle hue, brightness, and saturation variations.
  This can be selected as a single tile, letting HexKit randomly select variations while painting, for a more organic look.

⚠️ NOTE: this asset pack contains only flat-color hexes, no textures or drawn tiles!

Why terminal color schemes?

Inspired by the colors I know and love from my daily coding adventures, this set proves their versatility extends far beyond text editors. These palettes add a unique character to your maps, helping you craft immersive worlds with a creative twist.

What the future holds…

This project is more than just colors—it’s a glimpse into a larger vision! If this set resonates with the community, it will pave the way for a separate, fully hand-drawn, layer-able tile set, offering even more depth and detail for your maps.
