Link Colorer

This plugin automatically colors your internal links based on what they say. [[Apple]] will always appear in the same color every time you type it, helping you visually tell different things apart.

I use this for fiction writing since each character is a different link (I use various complements together with this)

Features

• Consistent colors: [[Obsidian]] will always be the same specific shade of purple, no matter where it appears.
• Live preview: Colors show up instantly as you type.
• Smart links: In [[Apple|Fruit]], the word "Fruit" gets colored based on "Apple" so the concept looks the same.
• Ignore prefixes: Option to ignore organizing bits. If enabled, [[Char - Charlus Potter]] gets the same color as [[Charlus Potter]].
• Color themes: Pick from Dracula, Solarized, Nord, Gruvbox, Synthwave, One Dark, and more.
• Works with light and dark mode: Colors automatically adjust so they're easy to read.

Setup

Go to Settings > Consistent Link Colors.

Pick a color theme

Choose from different color schemes:

• Vibrant: Bright colors that really stand out.
• Pastel: Softer, easier on the eyes.
• Theme colors: Matches popular editor themes like Dracula and Nord.

The settings menu shows you what the colors look like.

Ignore prefixes

• Default: On
• How it works: If your notes use a structure like [[Category - Note Name]], the plugin ignores the first part.
  • [[Char - Charlus]] → Colors based on "Charlus"
  • [[Loc - Hogwarts]] → Colors based on "Hogwarts"

Notes

It ignores embeds (the ![[link]] format).
