NAME

colorcoke - modify the extended, non-ANSI terminal colorset

DESCRIPTION

colorcoke shows off some cool things you can do with the Term::ExtendedColor family of modules.

colorcoke lets one modify the extended colorset (88-16 or 256-16 colors, respectively) for a running terminal session. The change takes effect immediately - no need to restart the terminal.

Shades and tints can be generated for an arbitary number of ranges.

The ANSI colors can be left untouched, be included in a shade or set separately. One can also exclude everything but the ANSI colors. The ANSI colors is untouched by default.

The grey scale ramp (extended color index 232-255) is left untouched by default. To include them, set the end point to 255.

Additional colors can be left untouched by specifying their index with the --no flag. This can also be configured in the configuration file.

The base color to use is specified with the -c flag, and the stepping is controlled with the -r, -g and -b flag - red, green and blue channel.

Red, green and blue amount is specified with -rr, -rg and -rb when the randomizing option is used.
