An obviously-named Swift command-line tool for converting tinted-theming yaml scheme files into MacOS .clr palette files. These are Apple binary property lists with a very NextStep-specific structure, so they need ObjC or Swift code to generate. This is, unbelievably, another tool in a long series of tools that solve extremely specific problems that nobody else has.

How to use:

• Clone tinted-theme's schemes repo somewhere.
• Run paletter path/to/schemes/base16 or base24; it handles both. You can optionally give it an output directory. Without an output directory, it writes all its palette files to the input directory.
• Move all the resulting .clr files to ~/Library/Colors (if you didn't output them there in the first place) and restart whichever application you want to see them show up in.

You probably need run a tool like this only once to get more color palettes than you ever dreamed of having.

Enjoy!

It doesn't do anything at all smart about overwriting files or being well-behaved about output. It'll log and exit when it encounters any error at all.
