pastel-darken(1)

✨ pastel-darken ✨

okay bestie, listen up, this is pastel-darken(1) from the General Commands Manual and it's literally about making colors darker πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

pastel-darken β€” darken a color by a specified amount, no cap πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

pastel darken [-h|--help] <amount> [color]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨


πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so here's the tea πŸ“ β€” this one darkens a color by subtracting a certain amount from the lightness channel. that's the whole thing. lightness goes down, color goes moody, main character energy activated πŸ‘‘

and listen, if the amount is negative, plot twist, the color gets lightened instead. yes really. it's giving reverse uno card πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -h, --help β€” print help. (heads up: you get a summary if you use -h, so if you want the full thing, don't just smash -h and call it a day πŸ™ˆ)
  • <amount> β€” the amount of lightness to subtract. must be a number between 0.0 and 1.0. that's the range, bestie, stay in it πŸ’–
  • [color] β€” the color you wanna darken. and omg there are SO many formats you can use, it's iconic 🌈 like #RRGGBB, RRGGBB, #RGB, 'rgb(…, …, …)', 'hsl(…, …, …)', 'gray(…)', or literally just the name of the color.

also!! the identifier - means "read a single color from standard input". and the special identifier pick runs an external color picker so you can choose one visually 🎨✨

and if you don't pass a color argument at all? no worries, colors will be read from standard input. 🫢

here are examples, and bestie, all of these specify the same color β€” not me being obsessed with consistency 😭

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

and alpha transparency is supported too, because we contain multitudes πŸ¦‹

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

ngl this is such a cute little command. go darken something. make it moody. slay. πŸ’…
