You say "or something similar", but the log shows something very
different:

Error in /home/kyonshi/.mutt/muttrc, line 9: source: file /home/kyonshi/.mutt/colorschemes could not be sourced

When posting about an error, don't show us "something similar".
Copy-and-paste the exact error message.  And if it refers to a line in a
file (line 9 in your .mutt/muttrc), show us that line, with some context
if it might matter.

If "/home/kyonshi/.mutt/colorschemes/solarized-dark-256.neomuttrc", then
"/home/kyonshi/.mutt/colorschemes" is a directory, which of course can't
be sourced.

You have (at least) two problems: you're trying to source a directory,
and you apparently *think* you're trying to source a file under that
directory.
