Why nvim processes colors differently?

Sorry, didn't get a notifcation for your last post.

okay, now I just uninstalled Luke Smith's st on my old system (the desired colorscheme) and reinstalled the same st build again.
And I get that different colorscheme, the same as in my new system.

So the desired setup is very much tied to the LS build what however also hinged on pywal, ie. the desktop colors based colorscheme.
Did you meanwhile read up on pywal and inspect the differences between your two systems itr?
Because it's what ultimately sets the st colors w/ your earlier LS build and it will do so depending on stuff like your wallpaper!

but wallpapers in both system are the same! I have a script which takes a wallpaper from a folder which contains 4 or 5 of them each time I log in.

If it depends on it, I can try to set one wallpaper in one system and different one in another and rebuild st in both of them and find out if it actually depends on it. Do I get it right?

Not in the screenshots you've originally posted!

Yes. YOu don't have to rebuild st every time you change the wallpaper but there's a good chance the colors won't be changed automatically when changing the wallpaper - in doubt start different st instances for different wallpapers and make sure that the wallpapers are significantly different, eg. the XP bliss and some red and black wallpaper or whatever.

Indeed the colors don't change automatically when different wallpapers load because as I said I have few different wallpapers which rotate every time I log in and after I compiled st, the colors stayed the same regardless which wallpaper was loaded.

I will build st using different wallpapers and let you know the outcome of the colors.

The build-time wallpaper won't matter.
What matters is whether
1. st is built w/ that pywall patch
2. the wallpaper when running pywall
