Ranger is using different colorschemes

Good day everybody!

I've recently installed the filemanager ranger and I have noticed an issue which I couldn't solve the last couple of days.
I am using i3wm with termite and pywal for theming. When I run ranger from the terminal everything is fine and it is using the same colors as my terminal window.

But when I use my keyboard shortcut for directly opening ranger (in ~/.config/i3/config exec $term -e ranger), ranger opens with the default color setting as if pywal hasn't applied the colors yet.
One workaround is to hardcode the colors from pywal to the termite configuration file but this is all but a satisfying solution.

So, how can I make termite use pywal colors when opening termite with the execute option to run a terminal application?

Re: Ranger is using different colorschemes

Thanks for your reply, ackt1c. But I already have

(cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences &)

in my .bashrc.

In my i3 conf file I have

exec --no-startup-id wal -Ri ~/wallpaper.png >/dev/null

The .xinitrc file does not contain any wal entry.
