No comments though, and very few up votes.
From the FAQ (see footer):
"Are reposts ok?
If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok."

#13This looks really neat. The demo uses a lot of shell pipes though, needing to type "pastel" out for every processing step. It would be convenient if something like
pastel random | pastel mix red | pastel lighten 0.2 | pastel format hex
pastel random mix red lighten 0.2 format hex
pastel random then mix red then lighten 0.2 then format hex

#14Literally last week I was looking for a tool to grep colors from a text file (say an SVG or a theme file) and was about to start writing one...which wasn't going to be even half as neat as this, so thank you very much for sharing

#15This looks really neat. The demo uses a lot of shell pipes though, needing to type "pastel" out for every processing step. It would be convenient if something like pastel random | pastel mix red | pastel lighten 0.2 | pastel format hex could be written pastel random mix red lighten 0.2 format hex (not quite possible, I think) or pastel random then mix red then lighten 0.2 then format hex or something.
GStreamer uses the argument "!" as a pseudo-"|" so you can build multimedia pipelines without actually using Unix pipelines, or repeating the gst-launch command:

#16I was looking for a quick way to convert RGB 0-255 to RGB float 0.0-1.0 (often used in shaders and other areas of 3D programming) just the other day. This tool doesn't currently seem to support that, would be a nice addition.
Thank you for the feedback. I have added a new "rgb-float" format in the latest release: https://github.com/sharkdp/pastel/releases/tag/v0.5.3

That would be great.
pastel random ! mix red ! lighten 0.2 ! format hexRe: Pastel: A command-line tool to generate, analyze, convert and manipulate colors

Every shell can make its own version, but here's a wrapper in fish which I named pstl:
eval (echo "pastel $argv" | sed 's/ | / | pastel /g')
pstl "random | mix red | lighten 0.2 | format hex"Re: Pastel: A command-line tool to generate, analyze, convert and manipulate colors
#19I love every single tool this guy builds

TIL. I'll keep that in mind for my submitions.
Thanks!
