## Terminal ANSI Palette
The 5 base colours above cover UI accents, but terminals (kitty, Alacritty, Ghostty) also need a full 16-colour ANSI palette. The "CyberQueer" terminal theme extends the base palette with neon green/yellow/magenta/cyan tints kept in the same violet/crimson family, so `ls`, `git`, and syntax highlighting stay legible instead of clashing.
Defined in `desktopenvs/hyprdrive/kitty/themes/cyberqueer.conf` (canonical source) and mirrored into every kitty and Alacritty config in the repo:
| Slot | Name | Normal | Bright |
|------|------|--------|--------|
| 0/8 | black | `#1A1A1A` | `#4B3A55` |
| 1/9 | red | `#E40046` | `#F50505` |
| 2/10 | green | `#33E6A0` | `#5CFFC2` |
| 3/11 | yellow | `#E8B23D` | `#FFD873` |
| 4/12 | blue | `#5018DD` | `#8C6FFF` |
| 5/13 | magenta | `#A6178C` | `#FF5FC0` |
| 6/14 | cyan | `#34C6C6` | `#6FF5F0` |
| 7/15 | white | `#D6ABAB` | `#F2DEDE` |
Plus the fixed UI slots:
| Role | Hex |
|------|-----|
| Foreground | `#D6ABAB` |
| Background | `#1A1A1A` |
| Cursor | `#E40046` |
| Cursor text | `#5018DD` |
| Selection background | `#5018DD` |
| Selection foreground | `#E40046` |
This palette is deployed identically to kitty (`kitty/themes/cyberqueer.conf`, `kitty/current-theme.conf`), Alacritty (`alacritty/alacritty.toml`, `[colors]` tables), and Ghostty (`ghostty/config`) across every desktop environment, so switching terminal emulators doesn't change the colours you see.
