Contributing
============

[](#contributing)

Feel free to add your own color schemes, as soon as they meet these requirements :

- All colors schemes should be created in the `src/colors` directory
- They must only contain one array, named `$colors`
- Each item of this array must have one key, and these three values :
    - reference
    - name
    - hexa
- The key should be a camelCase version of the color's name
- `reference` and `name` are not mandatory
- The `hexa` key is mandatory, it should contain the hexadecimal value of the color, prefixed with a sharp (`#`).
