Create monochromatic backgrounds instantly

Installation

Manual

$ python3 setup.py install

Imgur API

If you wish to use --imgur option which uploads the generated file to imgur and copies the image link to the clipboard, you'd need the API keys, namely client_id and client_secret These are fairly easy to obtain.

Register here
Copy your keys to ~/.chromatic.conf

[DEFAULT]
client_id=<your_id>
client_secret=<your_secret>

Your config file should already be present in your home dir ~/.chromatic.conf and if it's not, then run chromatic once without any options or create the file manually.

Usage

usage: chromatic [-h] [--color COLOR] [--size SIZE] [--imgur] [--nosave] [--open]
              [--path PATH] [--name NAME]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --color COLOR  HEX color code
  --size SIZE    size of the image in LxB
  --imgur        upload image to imgur and return URL
  --nosave       don't save file locally
  --open         open imgur URL in browser
  --path PATH    path to the file
  --name NAME    name of the image file generated

Why?

I've had countless instances wherein I need a solid background image with a given size and color, and after going through the various solid background generators on the web, I end up using photoshop to do the same, which in itself is a tedious task.
