• Are there any tools to analyse/modify colours directly from a bash script?
  2 projects | /r/bash | 3 Jul 2023

  I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, i have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them accordingly, directly from my script? If not, how should I be approaching this issue?

  A common one is polybar, but there are quite a few so they can't be hard to tell just from how it looks
