 - An accent color with that same hue but more saturation (hue 0.6, chroma 0.5)
 - Some shade of gray for the foreground color (hue 0.0, chroma 0.0). In this case it'll be a light gray since the background is dark.

+- `-a author`: Set the author name.
+- `-b amount`: Make the hue colors blend with the background's hue. 0.0 (default) means no blending, 1.0 makes them the same exact color. If you'd like to have them be the same hue but with different brightnesses, use a value like 0.999.
+- `-c contrast`: Desired contrast ratio between the foreground and background colors. Default is 7. 21 guarantees the highest possible contrast (i.e. the foreground will either be white or black).
+- `-e`: Equiluminant mode; uses the same luminance for the hues. This keeps their brightness uniform but can make them harder to tell apart.
+- `--hsl`: Treat the background color as being gamma-encoded HSL (i.e. what most people are used to). Wouldn't recommend it, but if it works for you...
 - `-m mode`: Which generator to use. Current generators:
   - `base16` (default): Base16
   - `xresources`: Xresources terminal colors
-- `-n name`, `-a author`: Set the scheme and author name.

 - Base16 options:
   - `-l`: Don't darken the last color (brown).
