ALAN'S TERMINAL COLOR PICKER

I can never tell from swatches how colors will look full size. Doubly so with combinations like text on a background. So, I built this to make it easier to pick terminal colors.

Click some squares and numbers to change things up then scroll to the bottom if you'd like more details.

DETAILS

Clicking the colored numbers changes the text in the mock terminal windows. Clicking the colors boxes changes the background
The specific colors are the 256 terminal defaults
Changing colors updates the first two lines of the mock terminals to provide the color codes. You can grab them from there
The first number in the output lines is the 0-255 color id. It's what you can use if you want to change your terminal via dotfiles
If you're wondering how useful this is given that themes and terminals with zillions of colors are a thing, the answer is "not particually, until it is". For example...
This entire thing came about because I started using tmux and wanted to change the color of the status bar. I found out how to do that from here. And, you guessed it, you need to use the 0-255 number ids. Eight hours later and we ened up here
And, yes. I really built this just to pick colors for the tmux status bar
