That is correct! I pointed that out and listed a few differences on the "About" section of the README (https://github.com/mjswensen/themer#about).

One thing I will add is that I found base16 more challenging to use if I wanted to use a custom color set instead of the default ones. It was also difficult for me to tell which packages of that project were maintained, which were deprecated, and how the packages were organized in general.

Awesome, I found that when I reread your description more in detail.

Back to base16, if you'd add base16 as an input and output you'd be able to benefit both by expanding the available set of themes with those of base16 and expanding the set of output formats to those supported by that ecosystem. That would make your tool far more interesting for someone like me who's already using base16.

That's a great idea. The color sets themselves are actually compatible (you'll see that there are eight monochromatic colors and eight accent colors in both systems) and I think there is some low-hanging fruit for interoperability between the two. Fantastic feedback, thank you!
