pastel-set(1)

✨ NAME ✨

pastel-set — bestie, this one sets a color property to a specific value 💅

She's part of the pastel family, living in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and she is so good at what she does.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pastel set [-h|--help] <property> <value> [color]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so literally all this does is set the given property to a specific value. That's it, that's the whole vibe.

Example, because seeing it is believing:

pastel random | pastel set luminance 0.9

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -h, --help — Prints the help. And ngl, if you want just the summary version, hit -h 👑
• <property> — The property that should be changed. Like, the thing you're poking at. Here are ALL the possible values, no gatekeeping:
  • lightness
  • hue
  • chroma
  • lab-a
  • lab-b
  • oklab-l
  • oklab-a
  • oklab-b
  • red
  • green
  • blue
  • hsl-hue
  • hsl-saturation
  • hsl-lightness
  • alpha
• <value> — The new numerical value of the property. A number. That's the assignment. 📝
• [color] — The optional color. And omg the formats, she's flexible fr fr. 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. And if no color argument is specified at all? Colors will be read from standard input. Iconic, honestly.

Examples — and bestie, ALL of these specify the same color, I'm not kidding:

• 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 a little translucency moment:

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

💀 quick reminder that pick will literally launch an external color picker, so don't be surprised when a whole window pops up on you. That's not a bug, that's the feature being extra.
