   -1     4 Xiwal is a tool that generates color schemes from colors. The colors can either
   -1     5 be specified directly or extracted from an image.
   -1     6 
   -1     7 It is massivly inspired by [pywal](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal), but it
   -1     8 also has some important differences:
   -1     9 
   -1    10 -   Xiwal focusses on terminal color schemes. There is no integration with gtk,
   -1    11     i3, polybar, etc.
   -1    12 -   The colors are reordered to match the traditional "red, green, yellow,
   -1    13     blue, purple, cyan" structure as close as possible.
   -1    14 -   All generated color schemes use the same CIE Lab lightness levels. They are
   -1    15     based on my personal experience/taste.
   -1    16 -   Since red and green are important signal colors (e.g. in diffs), their
   -1    17     saturation is increased.
