While most applications these days can display millions of colors, many developers use one that is restricted to just 256 colors on a day to day basis: their terminal. (Yes, technically iTerm and and a few others can display millions of colors, but the $TERM cannot).
What's more, is that the palette for those colors tends to be different based on configurations in XResources and the like, so it needs to be able to support custom palettes.
I built this with the intention to use it as a component in my rewrite of Villustrator[1], a vim colorscheme generator. I'm going to rebuild it with CLI vim as its sole focus.
Of course, this can also be used for retro art web apps and the like.
