Show HN: AnsiColor, resilient ANSI color codes for your TUI

gurgeous Tuesday, February 03, 2026

Hi HN. AnsiColor constructs resilient ANSI color codes for your TUI, cli app or prompt. Colors that will work regardless of the user's terminal theme.

I built this after experiencing the hilarious illegibility of Codex CLI when running with Solarized Dark. If a zillion dollar company can't get it right, we need better tools.

It comes with these themes:

  Andromeda
  Ayu Dark/Light
  Bearded Dark/Light
  Catppuccin Frappe
  Catppuccin Latte
  Catppuccin Macchiato
  Catppuccin Mocha
  Dracula
  GitHub Dark
  Gruvbox
  Monokai Dark/Light
  Nord
  One Dark/Light
  Palenight
  Panda
  Solarized Dark/Light
  Synthwave 84
  Tailwind
  Tokyo Night Dark/Light

Summary
