There is a solarized theme for IntelliJ on this GitHub repo. It also works with PyCharm.

All you need to do is:

  1. download the above repo, unzip it
  2. go to File | Import Settings...
  3. specify the setting.jar file in the intellij-colors-solarized directory and click OK
  4. restart PyCharm
  5. go to Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts and choose one of the solarized themes

On PyCharm 2016.2 it works like a charm, so I think it should also work with 2016.1.
