On Sunday, I released a small side-project of mine, a gem called tco. It’s a tool to simplify colouring things in the terminal. The main feature of it is the way it works with colours. Instead of an oddly organised sequence of colour codes, tco simply works with RGB. It provides a library for your Ruby gems and apps, and also a standalone command-line tool that you can use anywhere else.

It’s available on RubyGems, the sources are hosted on GitHub (licensed under MIT), and this blog post explains how to use it.
