+# `wezterm.color.load_base16_scheme(file_name)`
+
+*Since: nightly builds only*
+
+Loads a yaml file in [base16](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16) format
+and returns it as a wezterm color scheme.
+
+Note that wezterm ships with the base16 color schemes that were referenced via
+[base16-schemes-source](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-schemes-source)
+when the release was prepared so this function is primarily useful if you want
+to import a base16 color scheme that either isn't listed from the main list, or
+that was created after your version of wezterm was built.
+
+This function returns a tuple of the the color definitions and the metadata.
+
+For example, given a yaml file with these contents:
+
+```yaml
+scheme: "Cupcake"
+author: "Chris Kempson (http://chriskempson.com)"
+base00: "fbf1f2"
+base01: "f2f1f4"
