    Owl.Palette.codes() |> Owl.IO.puts()

You can use a selected color as follows:

    # print "test" using foreground color with code 161
    "test" |> Owl.Data.tag(IO.ANSI.color(161)) |> Owl.IO.puts

    # print "test" using background color with code 161
    "test" |> Owl.Data.tag(IO.ANSI.color_background(161)) |> Owl.IO.puts

# `named`

```elixir
@spec named() :: Owl.Data.t()
```

Returns a palette with named codes.

    Owl.Palette.named() |> Owl.IO.puts()

You can use a selected color as follows:

    # print "test" using cyan foreground color
    "test" |> Owl.Data.tag(:cyan) |> Owl.IO.puts

    # print "test" using light_green foreground color
    "test" |> Owl.Data.tag(:light_green) |> Owl.IO.puts

    # print "test" using light_green background color
    "test" |> Owl.Data.tag(:light_green_background) |> Owl.IO.puts

    # print "test" using a faint cyan foreground color
    "test" |> Owl.Data.tag([:faint, :cyan]) |> Owl.IO.puts

Note that `:faint` is not supported in all terminals.

    # print "test" using background color RGB(4, 3, 2)
