Change terminal colors on the fly.
A list of hex colors are supplied via command-line arguments, stdin or a file and pal sends these colors to all open terminals, modifying their palette. The purpose of this tool is to allow theme managers and individual scripts to effortlessly modify the current color-scheme without needing a reload of running terminals.
