A Little Tool for Coloring Art
Don't stay stuck in the canvas

I have always found coloring art to be extremely tedious. I made a tool to help with the coloring with some help from AI.

You can type text, select it, then click one of the color boxes or click a color box then type your text between the tags. The result will be displayed under the textbox and updated as you type.

I added a tool to help with gradients. Link: https://ansicolortool.neocities.org/oldgradient
Split your text into chunks with each on a separate line (a little tool to do that is included), choose the lowest and highest color code, the gradient type, and the step (change in color code number) between chunks then press the 'Colorize' button. The output will show both the raw code and it in color.

This is neat. Do you have this in a Github that we could clone? This is something I'd add to the website and link from help files and such, for future generations of tailors. I'd just want to have a version that we host, for continuities sake. If not, no worries.

I tried to make a screen-reader accessible version of my art tool and tested it using Windows Narrator. The input area and color boxes use the names of the colors instead of the codes.

The first button after the input area copies the input in the standard code format. The input must be copied this way in order to be usable in game.
