Neovim themes derived from Savitsky Museum paintings

savitsky.nvim is a Neovim theme plugin built on top of
catppuccin/nvim.

It provides curated color palettes inspired by paintings from the Savitsky Museum and allows runtime theme switching via simple Neovim commands.

This plugin does not define its own colorscheme. Instead, it dynamically configures Catppuccin using palette and highlight overrides.

Requirements

Installation

lazy.nvim

{
  "samesense/savitsky.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "catppuccin/nvim",
  },
}

packer.nvim

use {
  "samesense/savitsky.nvim",
  requires = {
    "catppuccin/nvim",
  },
}

vim-plug

Plug 'catppuccin/nvim'
Plug 'samesense/savitsky.nvim'

Usage

savitsky.nvim is command-driven. No manual Lua setup is required.

List available themes

:SavitskyList

Prints all registered Savitsky themes.

Load a theme

:SavitskyLoad bull

This command:

  1. Reconfigures Catppuccin with the selected palette
  2. Applies the appropriate Catppuccin flavour
  3. Reloads the colorscheme immediately

Tab completion is supported:

:SavitskyLoad <Tab>

Available Themes

Each theme corresponds to a palette inspired by a Savitsky Museum painting:

  • abstractBoxes
  • bull
  • camels
  • couple
  • forest
  • industry
  • man
  • witch

All themes currently target the Catppuccin mocha flavour with custom palette overrides.

How It Works

Each theme entry defines:

  • flavour – Catppuccin flavour (mocha)
  • palette – Color overrides for that flavour
  • highlights – Highlight overrides (shared by default)

When you run:

:SavitskyLoad <theme>

The plugin performs:

  • catppuccin.setup() with theme-specific overrides
  • :colorscheme catppuccin-mocha

No restart is required.

Optional: Load a Theme on Startup

If you want a default Savitsky theme when Neovim starts:

vim.cmd("SavitskyLoad forest")

Place this after plugin initialization.
