Announcing rainbow-mode

Read Original

The article announces rainbow-mode, a new Emacs minor mode designed to simplify color theme customization. It highlights strings representing colors (hexadecimal, HTML color names, X color names, rgb() CSS syntax) by displaying the actual color they represent, making it easier to edit themes. The author created it to address the difficulty of guessing colors from code strings.
