base16-theme-256-color-source 'colors does not do as expected about base16-emacs

[belak]

This is because the command should be (setq base16-theme-256-color-source "colors")

You can see in the definition that the type is a string:

(defcustom base16-theme-256-color-source "terminal"
  "Where to get the colors in a 256-color terminal.
In a 256-color terminal, it's not clear where the colors should come from.
There are 3 possible values: terminal (which was taken from the xresources
theme), base16-shell (which was taken from a combination of base16-shell and
the xresources theme) and colors (which will be converted from the actual
html color codes to the closest color).
Note that this needs to be set before themes are loaded or it will not work."
  :type '(string)
  :group 'base16
:options '("terminal" "base16-shell" "colors"))

When I initially wrote this, I hadn't quite figured out symbols... >_< I should fix that at some point.

@belak I could've swore I tried that... Worked great, thanks :)

Glad that worked!
