Generate a 600x400 image, with 30x20 squares.

$ rngback 600 400 15 10

Generate the same thing but with an blue foreground and a darkblue background.

$ rngback 600 400 15 10 -fg blue -bg darkblue

Add some variation to the foreground.

$ rngback 600 400 15 10 -fg blue -bg darkblue -var 40

Randomize the foreground to a different shade of blue each time and a black background.

$ rngback 600 400 15 10 -fg 'hsl({160-240}, {50-70}%, 60%)' -bg darkblue -var 40

Create gaps between the squares.

$ rngback 600 400 15 10 -fg blue -bg darkblue -off 2

Use multiple foreground colors.

$ rngback 600 400 15 10 -fg blue -fg mediumblue -bg darkblue
