Better support for light backgrounds

Some of the color schemes fade to white, which makes the characters blend with lighter backgrounds. Maybe instead of fading to white, they could fade to black?

Its not just white backgrounds, since we basically took over the spectrum, we are almost guaranteed to have at least 1 colour thats illegible regardless of which background we use.

For example, see the asexual flag:

You can't use white, grey, or black backgrounds.

I am experimenting with a gradient approach, but I suspect that would be pretty ugly, so maybe we are just stuck :<

Yeah I guess you're right 😆

You could improve the situation a little by avoiding the grayscale colors where possible. For example, if you look at the second help message in the screenshot I included above, the --non-binary and --gender-queer command-line flags look great because they're just a gradients from pink and blue. The other flags don't look as good because they fade to white.

It's only once you transition to white, black, or gray that you are most likely to blend with a user's background color.

Since you're dealing with gradients between all colors here, you will always conflict with someone's background color. So it's probably not something worth worrying about 🙂 Your tool is cool nonetheless.

As I suspected, the inverse gradient approach is 0/10

I did add a new -i 2d, --interpolation 2d option though, and I think it helps some what
