Install

lazy.nvim

{
"pixelsandpointers/dentoushoku.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    require("dentoushoku").setup({ theme = "oxblood-chassis", transparent = true })
    end,
}

Usage

Once installed, pick a theme any of these ways:

-- via setup (also lets you set transparency)
require("dentoushoku").setup({ theme = "tiger-ink", transparent = true })

-- via the unified loader, anytime after setup
require("dentoushoku").load("tiger-oxblood")
require("dentoushoku").load("oxblood-chassis", { transparent = false })
require("dentoushoku").load("enji")

-- or plain Neovim colorscheme commands — these always work too
:colorscheme oxblood-chassis
:colorscheme tiger-ink
:colorscheme tiger-oxblood
:colorscheme enji

A :Dentoushoku command is also registered for quick switching with tab-completion:

:Dentoushoku tiger-ink

(Running :Dentoushoku with no argument defaults to oxblood-chassis.)

Transparency

All four default to a transparent background (Normal highlight has bg = NONE), meant to be paired with a transparent terminal — see the Ghostty configs below. To force an opaque background instead:

require("dentoushoku").setup({ theme = "tiger-ink", transparent = false })

---

Ghostty configs

Matching Ghostty terminal configs for each theme are in ghostty/. Copy the one you want into ~/.config/ghostty/, then reference it from your main ~/.config/ghostty/config:

config-file = oxblood-chassis.conf

Reload Ghostty (Cmd+Shift+, / Ctrl+Shift+,) to apply. Tune background-opacity and background-blur inside the .conf file to taste.

tiger-oxblood

Same as tiger-ink, except the core-gem accent is true oxblood instead of burnt red-orange — separating errors from the warm orange pistol-glow accent, which now reads distinctly as its own color.

enji (臙脂)

Same underlying palette as oxblood-chassis — this variant renames every field to the traditional Japanese color name its hex value lands closest to. The primary red was the trigger: #9b2c30 sits within a few RGB units of the real 臙脂色 (enji-iro) reference value, a cochineal-red pigment name historically used in lacquerware and dye. The whole theme took its name from that match.
