Eases visual processing
Different colors within the same color scheme to quickly distinguish the layout (px, %, ..) and other declaration blocks from the colors (background-color; color); that eases the visual processing, thus increases reading speed, while reading CSS.

Improves Sublime Text's user interface
The theme cleans up the interface so that all elements in the UI are easier to find without being distracting. The icons for each file type clearly define what the file is so there's no having to look too closely at file extensions. The color scheme choices (such as Oceanic Next Dark) in particular work well to distinguish functions, classes, keywords, properties, values, etc. for various languages.

Schemes are limited to 16 colors
You may not be able to use as many colors as you want for a particular application without manual manipulation since base 16 color schemes are limited to 16 colors.

Out of the box support for many applications (vim, terminals, etc...)
Base16 template repositories on github have configurations for most popular applications where a color scheme can be applied. This reduces headache for users when applying or switching color schemes.
See More
Top
Con
Each theme needs manual tweaking
The base16 color schemes are really great but as a vim theme they require a lot of manual tweaking to be viable. One example is that in one theme a neon green bg is used with a white fd rendering any part of the vim UI that uses those two colors together illegible.

Its Solarized Dark scheme is compatible with htop
This is just one example of an app that doesn't work with vanilla Solarized Dark (half of the usernames in htop have the same color as the background) One has to use a patched htop version.
