colorslide
A fast, terminal-based color picker with mouse support. Allows for color picking in RGBA, HSL, and CMYK.
I wrote this because no color picker I could find online had all the features I wanted, in particular the ability to adjust the current color in multiple color spaces at the same time.
Built using my custom terminal UI library tuibox.
Features
- Fast -- Takes advantage of
tuibox's caching features to speed up rendering - Completely dependency-free -- Uses pure ANSI escape codes, without
ncurses - Built for mouse -- Color sliders are click-and-drag
Compiling and Running
To compile and run colorslide, run:
$ make
$ ./colorslide
To start with a color already selected (as opposed to a random color), run:
$ ./colorslide [color]
Where [color] is a 6-digit or 8-digit hex color code (e.g. "aabbcc" or "aabbccdd").
To-Do
- Properly handle resize events (this will require updating
tuibox) - Better keyboard support
