let ayucolor="dark"

You may also need to run :colorscheme ayu after you run :let ayucolor="dark" from the command line. Because I do.

Doesn't it make sense to register them as 3 themes? colo ayu-dark, ayu-mirage, ayu-light?

Having to execute :let ayucolor='dark' and then :colo ayu, seems kinda cumbersome.

Just take a look inside the colors/ayu.vim file and you will see that it makes sense to define a variable instead of creating more *.vim files and violating the "do not repeat yourself" rule. I use the help of VimL syntax to create a one-liner and to make them visually dependent on each other like let ayucolor='dark' | colo auy. I've done this once and see no problems. The way the auy theme is designed is a really good compromise for both users and contributors. IMHO.

You're not wrong, but I don't like that I have to change mindset when I use that theme compared to others.

i.e. I use :colo <theme> for everything, but then I need to :let ayucolor='<something>' and then set the theme.

Maybe #54 solves some these issues.

I've tried, you only need to change the "let ayucolor='dark' to 'let ayucolor='dark' | color ayu' and it the color will be what you want it to be

Solved it on my end. Just had to set the colorscheme and background, as well as termguicolors, after the plugins. Also, set
the background to dark before setting ayucolor to dark and make sure all terminal background settings are dark after setting colorscheme, i.e

call plug#end() "for vim-plug

set termguicolors
set background=dark
let ayucolor="dark"
colorscheme ayu
hi Normal ctermbg=16 guibg=#000000
hi LineNr ctermbg=16 guibg=#000000
highlight NonText guibg=black
highlight NonText guifg=black
