About

This tool will do, via a handler, the following:

• it will sort colors in a file, based on one of the supported algorithms;
• it will convert the input file between HEX, RGB and HSL formats;
• it will pack a HEX, RGB or HSL format into ACO and ASE formats;
• it will unpack an ASE or ACO file into any of the HEX, RGB or HSL formats.

Install requirements:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Due to pyobjc dependency, this script will work only MacOS.
