Script takes 2 arguments: --colour (or -c) and --text or (-t):

• --colour is image background color, and should be one of "red", "black" or "yellow" (according to your Inky wHAT version).
• --text should be list of 5 lines to display. It's set to "Keep" "calm" "and" "carry" "on" by default.

Sometimes (on smaller font sizes usually) text is cropped. To fix this you can simply add spaces to both sides of cropped line (like in the example above).
