2. About The Project

After wanting to get the Tailwind V2 CSS colours into my ColorSlurp App https://colorslurp.com/ (Pro version - enables imports), I found the process a little more cumbersome than originally thought. So, I wanted to put together a collection of scripts to make life easier for anyone else wanting to put a whole palette of colours into the Apple Color Picker or ColorSlurp.

This little script will ask for an input JSON file, a target output location, and then output a converted CLR file into that folder.

The json2clr app is a compiled version from user eip and this GIST at https://gist.github.com/eip/3837dfdaeb0326d44cf60c65f59e74c2
