Tutorial
Getting help
pastel
provides a number of commands like saturate
, mix
or paint
. To see a complete list, you can simply run
pastel
To get more information about a specific subcommand (say mix
), you can call pastel mix -h
or pastel help mix
.
Composition
Many pastel
commands can be composed by piping the output of one command to another, for example:
pastel random | pastel mix red | pastel lighten 0.2 | pastel format hex
Specifying colors
Colors can be specified in many different formats:
lightslategray
'#778899'
778899
789
'rgb(119, 136, 153)'
'119,136,153'
'hsl(210, 14.3%, 53.3%)'
Colors can be passed as positional arguments, for example:
pastel lighten 0.2 orchid orange lawngreen
They can also be read from standard input. So this is equivalent:
printf "%s\n" orchid orange lawngreen | pastel lighten 0.2
You can also explicitly specify which colors you want to read from the input. For example, this mixes red
(which is read from STDIN) with blue
(which is passed on the command line):
pastel color red | pastel mix - blue
