i've created a palette from the 256 colors of the xterm256 palette;

- for the first 16 (which depend on terminal configuration) i've used the default VGA palette
- the others are as usual: a 24-greyscale ramp and 6×6×6 RGB color cube
- had to split it over two pages, because 12×16 wouldn't fit all colors (and could structure it a bit better, now)

i'm using this myself for a terminal roguelike game
but hope it's useful to anyone !

Hi medusacle! Thanks for sharing these, I'm sure they'll come in handy for some others. I'll add them to the Resources page with the next update

awesome—thanks for writing this wonderful software by the way !

you wouldn't believe what kind of mess i've done throughout the years to get colored ANSI stuff, from horrible VIM plugins to multi-line strings in a certain format, nothing close to WYSIWYG

a few days ago someone told me that this exists and so happy about it

Woohoo, glad you found it then . Back in 2013 I wanted to start doing a lot of ASCII art and tried quite a few other programs out there before realizing none of them were very effective or efficient, so I built REXPaint and fortunately it really only took a couple weeks to get a decent framework with all the basic functionality. Since then it's just been accruing lots of extra bonus features, but I do have plans to eventually expand it with some much bigger updates.
