4bit Terminal Color Scheme Designer

🎨 About

allows you for creating consistent terminal color schemes. You don't need to know anything about aesthetics, 4bit will take care of it for you. Choose the hue, saturation, and brightness of the palette. The rest is magic. Then export it to a configuration file or a command for (almost) any terminal.
