+Putting it all together, the following is a basic setup (essentially a
+pseudo-port of [LS_COLORS](https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS)
+obtained by inspecting a terminal and approximating colors with
+[Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/colors/)).

+*Note*: the [256 color cheat
+sheet](https://jonasjacek.github.io/colors/) includes conversion from
+the Xterm colors used by LS_COLORS to the HEX codes used by
+`dired-rainbow`. Using that conversion an enterprising individual with a grasp of `sed`/`awk` could put together a
+*real* port of [LS_COLORS](https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS) to `dired-rainbow`.

 There is a related package called [diredfl](https://github.com/purcell/diredfl/) which extracts the extra fontification rules from Dired+ and packages them in a modern Emacsy way.  They enhance things like the date face, permissions face and similar.  Check it out!
