💖 NAME 💖

pastel-colorblind — bestie, this one simulates a color under a certain colorblindness profile 👀✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

pastel colorblind [-h|--help] <type> [color]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so basically? you hand it a color, and it shows you how that color would look to a person with protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "let me see through someone else's eyes" and honestly? iconic. 💅

Example, because a demo always eats:

pastel distinct 3 | pastel colorblind deuter

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — print help. and ngl, if you want the short version, pass '-h' — it gives you a summary instead of the whole thing. 🫶
• <type> — the flavor of colorblindness you wanna simulate. you got options: protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia. the actual values you type are shorter tho, lowkey:

Possible values:

• prot
• deuter
• trit

• [color] — the color itself, and bestie, colors can be specified in so many different formats. like #RRGGBB, RRGGBB, #RGB, 'rgb(…, …, …)', 'hsl(…, …, …)', 'gray(…)', or literally just the name of the color. 🦋

also there's two special lil identifiers:

• '-' — reads a single color from standard input 📥
• 'pick' — runs an external color picker so you can choose a color like the main character you are 👑

and if you pass no color argument at all? no worries, colors will just be read from standard input. periodt.

Examples — and yes, every single one of these specifies the same color, which is kinda wild when you look at it:

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

Alpha transparency is also supported, because we love range 💜:

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

fr fr, double-check your quotes and your parens before you hit enter — the formats are specific and the shell is not gonna be gentle about it. 💀
