Yesterday, I made cmyk colourrrs, a colour theme for editors and terminals.

Currently, there's support for the following:

You can install the iTerm 2 theme off Github: github.com/techygrrrl/techygrrrl-cmyk-colou..

At this time, there is only a dark theme for iTerm 2.

Colour picker -> build the thing to help build the thing

If you're a developer, you may be able to relate to building a tool to help you do something faster. Well, I did that! In order to help me be more productive in building the theme, I built a tool to help me pick colours faster. You can see the colour picker tool here: u1tlwy.csb.app

It's built in React with TypeScript and Sass and has the following features:

  • theme toggle to switch between light and dark backgrounds

  • animated random colour picking to change the button and line accent colour

  • click to copy to clipboard to make it easier to paste the colour into the JSON file

  • animated random active line number selecting

You can see a preview of light and dark modes below.

Interested in making your own theme?

If you are interested in making a theme and you think it'll help you, you're welcome to use the above colour picker if you provide a link back. Click the "Open Sandbox" button at the bottom right of this page. Please provide attribution with a link back to either my website, this blog post, or the original sandbox. Please also change stuff up so it doesn't look exactly like the original.
