16 colors output only with --cols16 option #54

By default it seems that wal only extracts 8 colors from a wallpaper, with wal -i /path/to/image. Only when I use wal --cols16 -i /path/to/image, I get nice 16 colors. Is this expected behavior? If so, can it be mentioned in the "Getting started" page? Thank you!

Yes it is expected behaviour, pywal16 by default is retrocompatible with the expected pywal behaviour (or at least is intended to) so to do get 16 color shades you need to use the --cols16 flag, despite having quite some releases i've just began to really edit the wiki, so i'll edit as soon as i get home.
