From my understanding, a well-known developer stole Colorette code (a node module for CLI colors) and rebranded it as Nanocolors with very minor changes.
Then, the nanocolors creator started going around repos that use Colorette, telling them to switch to Nanocolors.
That's all i know. If anyone wants to make corrections or additions to that please do.

This caused a major fallout with a creator on nanocolors who was a minor contributor and used colorete in some of his popular projects. Most of the comments on the relevant issue are gone now, so we can only guess how heated it was.
