Some Checks Have Failed or Are Not Yet Complete
Not All Tests Have Passed
This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
pastel
is a command-line tool to generate, analyze, convert and manipulate colors. It supports many different color formats and color spaces like RGB (sRGB), HSL, CIELAB, CIELCh as well as ANSI 8-bit and 24-bit representations.
In action
Tutorial
Getting help
pastel
provides a number of commands like saturate
, mix
or paint
. To see a complete list, you can simply run
pastel
To get more information about a specific subcommand (say mix
), you can call pastel mix -h
or pastel help mix
.
Composition
Many pastel
commands can be composed by piping the output of one command to another, for example:
pastel random | pastel mix red | pastel lighten 0.2 | pastel format hex
Specifying colors
Colors can be specified in many different formats:
lightslategray
'#778899'
778899
789
'rgb(119, 136, 153)'
'119,136,153'
'hsl(210, 14.3%, 53.3%)'
Colors can be passed as positional arguments, for example:
pastel lighten 0.2 orchid orange lawngreen
They can also be read from standard input. So this is equivalent:
printf "%s\n" orchid orange lawngreen | pastel lighten 0.2
You can also explicitly specify which colors you want to read from the input. For example, this mixes red
(which is read from STDIN) with blue
(which is passed on the command line):
pastel color red | pastel mix - blue

VERIFICATION
Verification is intended to assist the Chocolatey moderators and community
in verifying that this package's contents are trustworthy.
Package can be verified like this:
1. Go to https://github.com/sharkdp/pastel/releases/tag/v0.9.0, and download from there.
x86: https://github.com/sharkdp/pastel/releases/download/v0.9.0/pastel-v0.9.0-i686-pc-windows-msvc.zip
x86 (64-bit): https://github.com/sharkdp/pastel/releases/download/v0.9.0/pastel-v0.9.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip
to download the executables. You may wish to rename one of the files.
2. You can use one of the following methods to obtain the SHA512 checksum:
- Use powershell function 'Get-FileHash'
- Use Chocolatey utility 'checksum.exe'
checksum x86: e3a03e6e707e00fc2d848831060e871604acfedf28551c3d9fd564d3c52455255b6a8b5889216fedfccabe6890eeb6b91b8a1710e770282be4ae74e09290cabf

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

pastel has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.
Notes
Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.
chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 19 Jul 2025 21:21:51 +00:00:
pastel has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/b50211746aaa651f11e601e980f29bf1 for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.
chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 19 Jul 2025 21:36:51 +00:00:
pastel has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 1 and 5 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This is not enough detections to prevent the approval of this package version.
