pastel-color(1)

💖 pastel-color — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is pastel-color(1) from the General Commands Manual — section 1, general commands, the fun section. pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're gonna learn about colors 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pastel-color — display information about the given color 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pastel color [-h|--help] [color]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Show and display some information about the given color(s). literally just — you hand it a color, it tells you stuff about that color. main character behavior fr fr. 👑

Example, look at this little squad of colors:

pastel color 556270 4ecdc4 c7f484 ff6b6b c44d58

ate. no crumbs. ✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -h, --help — print help. (and like, if you want the summary version, that's what -h gives you — so -h = lil snack, --help = full meal. iykyk 🍓)
• [color] — the actual color(s) you wanna ask about. and omg bestie, colors can be specified in so many different formats, it's giving versatility:
  • #RRGGBB
  • RRGGBB
  • #RGB
  • 'rgb(…, …, …)'
  • 'hsl(…, …, …)'
  • 'gray(…)'
  • or simply by the name of the color 🎀

also, the identifier - can be used to read a single color from standard input. very demure, very pipeline-friendly. 💫

and the special identifier pick can be used to run an external color picker to choose a color. yes bestie, an actual picker. you literally get to point at the color you want. iconic. 🖱️✨

if no color argument is specified, colors will be read from standard input. no argument? it just waits for you to type. patient king. 🫶

Examples — and this is the part that's gonna blow your mind — all of these specify the same color:

• lightslategray
• '#778899'
• 778899
• 789
• 'rgb(119, 136, 153)'
• '119,136,153'
• 'hsl(210, 14.3%, 53.3%)'

seven whole ways to say the exact same thing. that's not indecision, that's range. 💅

Alpha transparency is also supported (yes, translucent colors, the sheer vibes):

• '#77889980'
• 'rgba(119, 136, 153, 0.5)'
• 'hsla(210, 14.3%, 53.3%, 50%)'

lowkey a warning but also just a fact: those format strings are literal — keep the quotes and the punctuation exactly as shown, bestie. don't freestyle them. 😭

okay that's the whole page!! this was pastel-color(1) from the General Commands Manual, and the source/version tag on this one is just color — no date stamped on it, so that's all we've got. go forth and color outside the lines. bye bestie, love u, drink water 💖🌸🦋🎀✨
