rainbow.sh

Simple colors for your scripts

Usage

Just import rainbow.sh and start using the available functions in your scripts.

Remember you need to save the output of the desired color function to a variable and print that later, or if you wish to print the whole text in one color just use echogreen "my green text".

source rainbow.sh 

vargreen=$(echogreen "Grass is green")
varred=$(echored "Roses are red")

varblue=$(echoblue "Violets are blue")
varyellow=$(echoyellow "Daisys are yellow")

varpurple=$(echopurple "Lavenders are purple")
varcyan=$(echocyan "The water is cyan")


echo "$vargreen ..Crickets are noisy.. $varred"
echo "$varblue ..Frogs jump.. $varyellow"
echo "$varpurple ..Dogs run.. $varcyan"

How does it look?

Tips

Don't forget to quote parameteres, echogreen one big apple tree will only output one, you should use echogreen "one big apple tree" to get the full output.
If you wish a darker color palette just redefine __RAINBOWPALETTE to 0 like this: __RAINBOWPALETTE="0"
