colortools

A list of shell scripts to print system colors and true colors in the terminal. Every time I looked for one of these scripts, I ended up finding another one, spending more time than I wanted. Now we have them all in one place. Like many other tools on the terminal, these scripts are not useful to everyone, but are really useful to some. Enjoy :)
