Colors

Muster sessions have a color applied to the tmux status bar. Colors can be set when creating a profile or changed live on a running session.

Usage

# Set by name
muster color webapp orange

# Set by hex
muster color webapp '#f97316'

# Set a shade variant
muster color webapp red-dark

# List available named colors
muster color --list

# colour is accepted as an alias
muster colour webapp teal

color accepts a profile name, session ID, or full session name. If a session is running, the status bar updates instantly and the profile is also updated. If no session is running, the profile is updated directly.
