bug: Since 0.15.3 EZA_COLORS's size coloring tweaks stopped working

[bew]

You can see here I set the user color and the file size (for small files) using EZA_COLORS to the same red color.

In the first test, using eza 0.15.2 both the user and the file size are correctly red.
In the second test, using eza 0.15.3 the user is still red but the file size is the default green color.

Working version, nixpkgs hash: H=657f8ce31927e61a2f2ec1174b882c453e95b38f
Not working version, nixpkgs hash: H=7d38cab61f2f72c62d4a943c29662d62df44afcd

nix eval "github:nixos/nixpkgs/$H#eza.version"
nix run "github:nixos/nixpkgs/$H#eza" -- -l some/path

The 0.15.3 is the version that introduced the --color-scale option, which I'm NOT using here.

That has been fixed in 0.16.0. Per the release notes:

We fixed the accidental breaking change with --color-scale suddenly requiring an argument introduced in v0.15.3, now it defaults to all.

You'd need --color-scale=all for 0.15.3.

I'm NOT using --color-scale, and initially noticed this behavior on 0.16.0 actually

well it is indeed a bug and not linked to color-scaling

[piechologist]

This color scale feature is a bit confusing to me, too. I guess you want:

eza -l --color-scale=all --color-scale-mode=fixed  # 0.15.3
eza -l --color-scale-mode=fixed  # 0.16.0+

Unfortunately, the default is --color-scale-mode=gradient which ignores EZA_COLORS even when not using --color-scale.

For me (using v0.16.0) --color-scale-mode=fixed still does not work for file ages:

(For the above I am using EXA_COLORS but it still doesn't work if that is unset.)

[piechologist]

For me (using v0.16.0) --color-scale-mode=fixed still does not work for file ages:

AFAIK, there's only a single EZA_COLORS's da parameter we can define so, there's no fixed color scale for file ages at all. A bit confusing, really…

Can confirm above bug in v0.16.0, Linux Mint 21.2: uu and ur work but sn and sb do not:

Even though --color-scale is not in use, --color-scale-mode=fixed makes the color tweaks work:

fixed the size part
