Colorize hex color codes in your terminal.

A small CLI that finds hex color codes (#RGB, #RGBA, #RRGGBB, #RRGGBBAA) in text and renders them with colored backgrounds. Useful for previewing colors in CSS, config files, or any text that contains hex values.

Install

npm install -g awecolor

Or run directly with npx:

npx awecolor styles.css

Quick Start

# Pipe from any command
cat styles.css | awecolor

# Read a file directly
awecolor theme.json

# List all colors with locations
awecolor --extract styles.css

Commands

awecolor styles.css                     # Colorize hex codes in a file
cat styles.css | awecolor               # Colorize from stdin
awecolor --extract styles.css           # List colors with location and context
