molokai.csv

Background

I wanted to do a 256 molokai color scheme in tintin++. I had to do some digging to the standard molokai colors reduced to 256, and then converted to the tintin++ color format.

Sources

The 256_color_names.csv file is sourced from here.

The molokai 256 color info is sourced from here.

Steps

1. Run python extract.py > molokai.csv to generate the CSV (although I've provided molokai.csv here).
2. Run python parse.py to generate the tintin++ commands (although I've provided colors.tin here).
