Pywal produces unreadable colorscheme

See original GitHub issue

After installing pywal, python3 + pip, xorg, xrdb, feh, imagemagick, urxvt and i3wm, running

wal -c -i /home/mewlord/Background.jpg

produces a full colorscheme as expected, exports to xrdb, and is able to set the background with feh, but the text in urxvt is undreable due to the colors produced by pywal. I have tried multiple images, but the result is the same.

It could be useful to see what kind of wallpapers you’re feeding pywal with, could you post one so we can reproduce?

Closing this as there’s now 5 color backends.
