Subject: Would True Colour to ANSI 8-bit palette conversion be useful
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2024 06:01:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+pa1O1RnSPzxigXuvuGsPRq6h0y599kK+ycqbWYBZxs4A0tuA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
A while back I wrote https://github.com/mina86/ansi_colours which
takes 24-bit RGB colour and spits out the best matching entry from
ANSI 8-bit palette. I’ve recently looked through NEWS and noticed
changes related to the true colour support on the terminal.
This got me wondering whether a feature to do True Colour -> ANSI
conversion would be useful somewhere in Emacs. The typical usage is
where the user specifies 24-bit colour but the terminal supports the
8-bit palette only.
I don’t use Emacs in terminal nor do I run terminal inside Emacs, so
honestly I’ve no idea if that would be useful.
