Simple colors for your bash scripts

rainbow.sh

Colors for your scripts, the easy way.

##Usage

Just import rainbow.sh and start using the available functions in your scripts.

Remember you need to save the output of the desired color function to a variable and print that later, or if you wish to print the whole text in one color just use echogreen "my green text".

source rainbow.sh 

vargreen=$(echogreen "Grass is green")
varred=$(echored "Roses are red")

varblue=$(echoblue "Violets are blue")
varyellow=$(echoyellow "Daisys are yellow")

varpurple=$(echopurple "Lavenders are purple")
varcyan=$(echocyan "The water is cyan")


echo "$vargreen ..Crickets are noisy.. $varred"
echo "$varblue ..Frogs jump.. $varyellow"
echo "$varpurple ..Dogs run.. $varcyan"

How does it look?

Light palette (default)

Dark palette (see tip below)

Tips

• Don't forget to quote parameteres, echogreen one big apple tree will only output one, you should use echogreen "one big apple tree" to get the full output.

• If you wish a darker color palette just redefine __RAINBOWPALETTE to 0 like this: __RAINBOWPALETTE="0"
