This is suuuuper nice. I'm surprised I hadn't noticed that this coloring feature existed, this is brilliant.

Fading to yellow is nice, but I think fading to green would have been a better choice IMO. For me, yellow indicates warning, green indicates good or fresh. Thanks for the inspiration!

@brandon1024 that would be nice in green indeed ! Unfortunately, yellow was the only ANSI color I could easily make a nice gradient with. If you find another one, please share it here :)

Here's the code for the ANSI color palette:

# Print out color for each code in ANSI range
for code in {0..255}; do
  printf "\e[38;5;${code}m%03d\e[0m " $code
  if (( 0 == (code + 1) % 16 )); then
	echo
  fi
done
