Description-en: utility to test color capabilities of terminal
Most terminals are capable of displaying 16 colors; 8 colors and 2
different brightness values, some (like xterm) can display more, even
256 colors.
.
The program automatically detects 8, 16, 88, 256 color capabilities
(via ncurses) and displays the appropriate color charts. Program can
display the colors as blocks or 2d cubes optionally with color values
overlaid in int or hex values, it can show the full rgb text string
and show the display with a vertical (default) or horizontal
orientation.
.
In addition to the color charts it can also convert between 256 and
88 color values. This can be useful when converting various terminals
like between urxvt and xterm-256.
.
The goal of this program was to provide the functionality of all the
various Perl and sh scripts in one place with some bells and whistles.
