💖 pastel-lighten — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to pastel-lighten(1), from the General Commands Manual family 🌸 this is the little command that makes your colors brighter. yes, that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

pastel-lighten — lighten a color by a specified amount 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

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

like... that's the whole vibe. <amount> first, [color] optional, -h or --help if you're lost 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what she actually does is lighten a color by adding a certain amount to the HSL lightness channel 🎨. that's the tea.

and if the amount is negative? bestie, she doesn't lighten — she darkens. plot twist, but a valid one 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — prints the help. and listen, this one shows you a summary with -h 📝
• <amount> — the amount of lightness you're adding. it's a number between 0.0 and 1.0. keep it in that range, i'm begging 🙈
• [color] — okay this is the fun part. colors can be specified in many different formats, and she's not picky, she's versatile 💅:
  • #RRGGBB
  • RRGGBB
  • #RGB
  • 'rgb(…, …, …)'
  • 'hsl(…, …, …)'
  • 'gray(…)') — well, 'gray(…)' 🌸
  • or simply by the name of the color 👑

also, the identifier - can be used to read a single color from standard input 📥

and the special identifier pick can be used to run an external color picker to choose a color 🎯 iconic behavior honestly

if no color argument is specified, colors will be read from standard input. no thoughts, just stdin 💖

examples — and bestie, all of these specify the same color 🫶:

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

alpha transparency is also supported ✨:

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

lowkey the range 0.0 to 1.0 on <amount> is not a suggestion, it's the assignment 📚

and that's the whole page, bestie 🦋 this one lives in the pastel-lighten(1) manual, page name lighten, in the General Commands Manual — she's out here serving lightness, no cap 💜 periodt ✨
