Console full image color
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Console full image color
Usage: ./cfic image.png
Any image format supported by Pillow will work.
Make sure the image is small. Width of 80 pixels is ideal.
Keep in mind that console blocks aren't usually 1:2 exactly, and the
precise proportion varies on the font used by the terminal emulator.
The one I use (Consolas) is 12:25 and that meant I had to resize a 2:1
image to 100x48 instead of 100x50.
