pastel

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides fast, scriptable color tooling to generate, convert, manipulate, and preview colors and palettes so designers and developers can create consistent theming and verify accessibility without manual color math.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Inspect and convert colors between named, hex, rgb, hsl, lch, oklab and other formats.
• Generate color schemes including complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, gradients, distinct palettes, and random sets.
• Manipulate colors by lightening, darkening, saturating, rotating hue, mixing, and setting explicit properties to build tonal scales.
• Accessibility and validation: compute readable text color, simulate colorblindness, and check terminal 24-bit support.
• Use Case: Produce a full UI palette from a brand color, export a tonal scale for design tokens, and verify contrast for accessible text.

Quick Start

Use the pastel CLI to generate a six-color distinct palette from the seed color #3498db and preview the colors in your terminal.
