A Node.js library for rendering beautiful color gradients in terminal output. It supports custom color stops, multiple color formats via TinyColor, built-in gradients like rainbow and pastel, and multiline text alignment.

Use cases

• add rainbow colors to CLI banner text
• print gradient-colored ASCII art in the terminal
• style console log output with color gradients
• apply a consistent gradient across multiline strings
• create custom gradients with specific color stops and interpolation

When to choose

• you want eye-catching gradient text in a Node.js CLI or console app
• you need multiline gradient alignment for ASCII art or banners
• you want flexible color input formats (hex, RGB, HSV, named colors)

When to avoid

• you only need basic single-color terminal styling (use chalk instead)
• your output is not rendered in a terminal
• you need to avoid ANSI escape codes in logs or files
