chromogene

Generates perceptually optimized color schemes for diagrams, terminals or code editors by optimizing over the colors perceived distances with genetic algorithms.

Usage

Pipe a description the fitness function into the program and it will try to generate a colorscheme with maximum fitness. A sample fitness-function would be:

maximize min fixeddist
approximate 40 min freedist
minimize stddev luminance 1 2
minimize stddev chroma 1 2

(I'm working on a new file format right now, this is just a proof of concept.)

Then start it using:

cat solarized | cargo run --release

(you probably need Rust beta or nightly)
