Make internal colours accesible #12

Sometimes I want to reuse the colours from the alduin theme in my vim config, it would be really neat (if possible), so be able to access alduin.colors as a variable of some kind. That way I could define custom highlight groups & such, by reusing the colours defined there.

Can you give me an example of what you are looking for? Thanks @SevereOverfl0w

I had to add this to customize the theme:

hi StatusLine ctermbg=585858

It'd be nice to be able to do 

hi StatusLine ctermbg=alduin.Nightingale

Ah... I see. There just might be a way to do this! I just read a post on stackoverflow where someone wanted to do something similar. See post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2211477/how-can-i-use-variables-to-dry-up-vim-colorthemes It appears that the way to accomplish this is by writing an execute: command within the colorscheme. I created Alduin using the call command in the colorscheme, however your request sounds awesome. Let me play around with the exe in alduin and I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks @SevereOverfl0w
