More Precise Colors

[sencer]

I reported an issue about not-so-precise colors. With the striking example of " #46a546". This "not even a little elegant" solution of mine kind of resolves the issue.

I would also suggest looking at chrisbra/color_highlight, which does the color highlighting much better -but only on demand.

Regarding the second commit, sorry, I’m not going to turn this script into a clone of color_highlight. If you want color_highlight then use color_highlight.

I also don’t like to just dump a huge lookup table into the code with no indication of where the values came from – the approach itself may work well but then I’d like to have a build process with a program that pre-calculates the table. So I’m afraid I won’t be taking the first commit verbatim either.

And in either case I’m not interested in a complete re-indenting of the script for no apparent reason.

However – I’ve fetched the commits and will look over the code for inspiration. Thanks.

this was the reason I sent the request.
