💖 pastel-desaturate — aka pastel desaturate 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and the star of the show is pastel-desaturate 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pastel-desaturate — Decrease color saturation by a specified amount 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically, we're taking a color and we're lowering its saturation by subtracting a certain amount from the HSL saturation channel. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

And here's the lil plot twist: if the <amount> is negative, the color gets saturated instead. Not me reversing the whole operation with a minus sign 😭 iconic behavior fr fr.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with '-h') 🫶
• <amount> — Amount of saturation to subtract (number between 0.0 and 1.0)
• [color] — okay this one is the whole personality, listen up 💜

Colors can be specified in many different formats, such as #RRGGBB, RRGGBB, #RGB, 'rgb(…, …, …)', 'hsl(…, …, …)', 'gray(…)' or simply by the name of the color.

The identifier '-' can be used to read a single color from standard input. Also, the special identifier 'pick' can be used to run an external color picker to choose a color. If no color argument is specified, colors will be read from standard input. 🌈

Examples (all of these specify the same color) — the way they all ate and left no crumbs:

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

Alpha transparency is also supported, because we're not doing opacity erasure in this house 💅:

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

lowkey a glow-up for your color palette, no cap. -h for the short version if you're in a rush bestie 🏃♀️💨
