Ever want to quickly see a hex color value from the command line? Try using ImageMagick display and making a easy to use function to call it.

showcolor() { display -size 400x400 xc:"#${1}"; }
showcolor 6823AF

@climagic That`s a nice one.

@climagic You can view colors directly on the command line with pastel or colorpedia.

pastel color 6823AF

color hex 6823AF

@thomzane @climagic pastel is great! Nice find!

In rainbow-mode, Emacs shows the colors in place.

@climagic I think Konsole will display the colour if you hover the pointer over it.

@climagic how about a bash script to see a hex color _on_ the command line (fills a truecolor-capable terminal):

showcolor(){ printf "\e[48;2;%d;%d;%dm%*s" 0x${1:0:2} 0x${1:2:2} 0x${1:4} $(($COLUMNS*$LINES));}
