# agave(1)

colorscheme designer for the gnome desktop

## NAME

Agave - colorscheme designer for the gnome desktop

## SYNOPSIS

**agave** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Agave is a program for generating colorschemes from a starting color.  It currently supports five different colorscheme types:

 \* Complements: The starting color and the color directly across the color wheel\
  \* Split Complements: the starting color and the two colors that are slightly\
    offset from the color directly across the color wheel\
  \* Triads: the starting color and the two colors 1/3 of the way around the wheel\
    in each direction.\
  \* Tetrads: The starting color and its complement plus another color slightly\
    offset from the starting color and \_its\_ complement\
  \* Analogous: The starting color and two colors slightly offset in hue\
  \* Monochromatic: The starting color and two other colors of the same hue, one\
    lighter, and one darker

**Using Agave**

 \* Choose a starting color by clicking on the color button or selecting a color\
    from the palette, and then select a scheme type from the combo box.  The\
    generated scheme will be displayed in the main window. \
  \* The left-most Color in the main window is the currently-selected color.  This\
    color can be added to your favorites list with the '+' button in the bottom\
    right, or with the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+D'.\
  \* To make one of the other colors in the scheme the currently-selected color, you\
    can double-click the colorswatch.\
  \* To copy a hexstring representation of the color (e.g. #FFFFFF) to the\
    clipboard, right-click the colorswatch and select the 'copy' menu\
    item.
