Pywal Screwed Up My Colors

I installed Pywal and allowed it to run my theme for a while, except now I've decided to start doing things manually. I made my .Xresources file and have started making changes, but I've been realizing that things don't line up like the guides I'm reading online say they will. For example, even inside vim, colors aren't what they should be, or when I set ladies colors, they are way off. It is hard to explain, but I believe this is all from Pywal.

I've asked many different places with no luck and am starting to worry that I may just have to give up and stick with Pywal. I really don't want to do that though. Is there an easy way to completely undo everything Pywal set? Does Pywal only mess with your Xresources file, or are all the files in my ".cache/wal/" directory being changed? If so, that could maybe explain it. I'll type out a list of the files in that directory.

colors, colors.css, colors.hs, colors.json, colors-kitty.conf, colors-konsole.colorscheme, colors-oomox, colors-putty.reg, colors-rofi-dark.rasi, colors-rofi-light.rasi, colors.scss, colors.sh, colors-speedcrunch.json, colors-sway, colors-tty.sh, colors-wal-dmenu, colors-wal-dwm.h, colors-wal-st.h, colors-wal-tabbed.h, colors-wal.vim, colors-waybar.css, colors.Xresources, colors.yml, schemes, sequences, and wal.

I didn't think originally that those would be used, but now I'm beginning to wonder, but I don't even know how that would work. Like I don't understand how vim would know to grab colors from that file. Could anyone please help me get control of my box again so I can theme my stuff without a total reinstall?

Re: Pywal Screwed Up My Colors

Vim has schemes, do :colorscheme, Vim takes colors from .Xresources if the scheme is set to default in your .vimrc. I would suggest remove pywal its shit anyways and find a nice color scheme you like from "http://ciembor.github.iio/4bit/".
