Gowall is a tool to convert an image ( specifically a wallpaper ) to any color-scheme / palette you like! It also offers a bunch of image processing features (image to pixel art, Image upscaling, color palette extraction...)
Gowall is really well documented with visual examples: Gowall Docs
❗ Although Gowall is a CLI tool, it has an Image preview feature that allows
printing images directly in the terminal. See Gowall Terminal Image preview
