Description
I read your blog (and have been reading it more frequently) and saw the piece about terminal-to-html
What a clever idea as losing color during a paste is an annoyance.
However, your page https://tools.simonwillison.net/terminal-to-html renders everything as green.
While there's much to be loved about CRT green, a "Preview" of how great it was at preserving color , but presented in green, is sorta missing the mark, imho.
If I find time, I'll fork the repo and adjust to my desires, but thought I'd at least say something. maybe you'll have a slider/switch that de-forces the green view.
Love your stuff. kill the ticket if you want.

Research direction
Open the terminal-to-html page at https://tools.simonwillison.net/terminal-to-html and reproduce the reported behavior with colored terminal output. Trace the page's preview entry point and determine where the green presentation is applied. Done means the preview preserves the input colors instead of displaying everything as green.
