Rainbow – an attempt to display colour on a B&W monitor

In plain words

Rainbow is a software tool that attempts to display color on black-and-white monitors. Launched in 2020, it addresses the technical challenge of rendering colors on displays that lack color capability. The software is designed for users who work with older monochrome monitors or operate in environments where color displays are unavailable. It offers a creative solution for representing color information on B&W screens through alternative visualization methods.
