get_color_data: Get Color Database

Description

Returns the complete color database as a data frame containing all 32,000+ color names and their corresponding hexadecimal codes.

Usage

get_color_data()

Value

A data frame with two columns:

name

Character vector of color names (lowercase)

hex

Character vector of hexadecimal color codes (uppercase, format: #RRGGBB)

The data frame contains 32,462 rows representing all available colors, including both R's 657 built-in colors and the extended color-names database.

Details

The returned data frame is sorted alphabetically by color name. Each color name maps to exactly one hex code, though multiple color names may share the same hex code.

This function is useful for:

• Exploring available color names

• Creating custom color palettes

• Searching for colors by name pattern

• Analyzing color distributions

• Building color visualization tools
