## What it is
Matugen is a cross-platform CLI tool written in Rust that generates Material You (Material Design 3) and base16 color schemes, typically from a source color or wallpaper. It includes a built-in templating engine for applying generated colors to config files and applications in formats like hex, rgb, and hsl.

## Use cases
- generate a material you color scheme from a wallpaper
- create base16 color palettes for my terminal
- apply system-wide color themes from one source color
- generate color configs for wayland ricing
- convert a color into hex rgb and hsl formats in templates
- theme multiple applications consistently with one command

## When to choose
- you want Material Design 3 dynamic color generation on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you need to propagate a color scheme into app config files via templates
- you are theming a Linux desktop (e.g., Hyprland, Waybar) from a wallpaper

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI color picker or design tool rather than a CLI generator
- you only target Android or web apps where Material Theming is built in
- you need color scheme formats other than Material You and base16
