SWATCHES

You want to put color swatches in your github README, but it won't render html style attributes, and you can't be bothered to make or host the pngs. What if you could just...

![A lovely hotpink color swatch](https://swatch.now.sh/?color=hotpink)

and have it render as:

A lovely hotpink color swatch

why yes! SVG color swatches as a supernice service thanks to the wonders of now.sh

![Charcoal](https://swatch.now.sh/?color=%2324364C)
![Royal blue](https://swatch.now.sh/?color=%232B60D5)
![Ultramarine blue](https://swatch.now.sh/?color=%23437AF4)
![Bleu de France](https://swatch.now.sh/?color=%234299FF)

Charcoal Royal blue Ultramarine blue Bleu de France

Add your color at the end of the url, get back an svg square.

For hex codes you have to url encode the # with %23.

https://swatch.now.sh/?color=%234299FF
