Sane color handling of osx's accent and highlight color from the commandline

Overview

Sane command line color customisation for osx, no more fiddling about with defaults, internal apple color constants and rgb color codes

Say you want to change your Accent and Highlight Color to Green like this

If you wanted to change it via terminal, normally you'd need to do this

$ defaults write -g AppleAccentColor -string 3
$ defaults write -g AppleHighlightColor -string "0.752941 0.964706 0.678431 Green"

Instead.... do this 😄 

$ osx-colors set green

Or to set your Accent & Highlight color based on the wallpaper pallete generated from pywal also requires jq

$ osx-colors set $(jq --raw-output '.colors.color9' < ~/.cache/wal/colors.json)

Features

  • Sane color handling using color names and a single command
  • Provide it a color in hex and it'll find the "nearest" available apple color to it and set it to this, this is awesome if you use pywal and want matching accent/highlight colors to your wallpaper
  • Restarts Finder,Docker,System Preferences etc upon setting so colors can be immediately seen

Why

I'm a huge fan of pywal and what I thought would complete the color scheme would be Accent & Highlight colors in osx that were based on the generated color palette of the wallaper, however I wasn't able to find anything that did it and color management from the commandline simply sucked, so I wrote this for my personal needs

Limitations

  • At present you can only set both the AccentColor and HighlightColor together, however the HighlightColor can be customized to any color in the UI (from what I can see)
  • Finding the nearest "color" isn't perfect but i've found it good enough, welcome alternative algorithms/solutions to this

Getting Started

Dependencies

  • MacOS Monterey (It probably works on others I just haven't tested it!)
  • Python 3.8 or greater

Installing

pip install osx-colors

Usage

To set the Accent and Highlight color to Red

$ osx-colors set red
Setting the 'Accent Color' to 'red'
Setting the 'Highlight Color' to 'red'
Restarting Finder, Spotlight and System Preferences, others may need to be restarted manually

To set the Accent and Highlight color to the closest color to the HEX color provided

$ osx-colors set 0029ff
Searching for the closest Apple color to '0029ff' we found 'blue'
Setting the 'Accent Color' to 'blue'
Setting the 'Highlight Color' to 'blue'
Restarting Finder, Spotlight and System Preferences, others may need to be restarted manually

For more usage instructions see

$ osx-colors --help

  • Add the iMac colours to colour options available

    Add the iMac colours to colour options available

    Since the new 2021 iMacs came out, they've had new customisable accent colours which you can get with the simple terminal command, but these aren't available on this yet defaults write -g NSColorSimulateHardwareAccent -bool YES defaults write -g NSColorSimulatedHardwareEnclosureNumber -int}

    Therefore, you could add these colours (there's 6 of them) to the database thing to check for matches to those colours as well.

    Other than that its a really cool project!!!
