# colour
### Change terminal colour

#### Description
Similar to the `color` command, with the main difference being that `color`
repaints the entire window, while this tool only affects characters printed
after the colour is changes. This tool also allows foreground and background
colours to be controlled individually.


#### Command line options

|              | `colour [-b [0-f]] [-f [0-f] [0-f]` |
| ------------ | :---------------------------------- |
| `[0-f][0-f]` | Set both background and foreground colour |
| `-b[0-f]`    | Set only the background colour |
| `-f[0-f]`    | Set only the foreground colour |
| `[0-f]`      | Set only the foreground colour |
| `-g`         | Print the current terminal colour, followed by a new line |
| `-G`         | Print the current terminal colour, omit new line in the output |


#### Sample use
```bash
colour f4   # background f (white), foreground 4 (red)
colour -bf  # background f (white)
colour -f4  # foreground f (white)
colour -g   # prints f4
colour -?   # show usage

```
