There are three main goals to the palettes package, each\ndescribed in a vignette:\n\n- To provide a new family of colour classes (`palettes_colour` and\n `palettes_palette`) that always print as hex codes with colour\n previews; `vignette(\"palettes\")`.\n\n- To provide a comprehensive library of methods for working with colour\n vectors and colour palettes, including methods for ggplot2,\n `vignette(\"ggplot2\")`; gt, `vignette(\"gt\")`; biscale,\n `vignette(\"biscale\")`; and other colour packages,\n `vignette(\"compatibility\")`.\n\n- To make it easy for anyone to make their own colour palette package;\n `vignette(\"creating-packages\")`. Colour palette packages made with\n palettes exist solely for the purpose of distributing colour palettes\n and get access to all the features of palettes for free.\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall palettes from\n[CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=palettes) with:\n\n``` r\ninstall.packages(\"palettes\")\n```\n\nInstall the development version from\n[GitHub](https://github.com/mccarthy-m-g/palettes) or\n[R-universe](https://mccarthy-m-g.r-universe.dev/palettes) with:\n\n``` r\n# Install from GitHub\n# install.packages(\"remotes\")\nremotes::install_github(\"mccarthy-m-g/palettes\")\n\n# Install from R-universe\ninstall.packages(\"palettes\", repos = \"https://mccarthy-m-g.r-universe.dev\")\n```\n\nInstall the [WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org) version for use in\n[WebR](https://docs.r-wasm.org/webr/latest/) applications with:\n\n``` r\n# Install CRAN version from r-wasm\ninstall.packages(\"palettes\", repos = \"https://repo.r-wasm.org\")\n\n# Install development version from R-universe\ninstall.packages(\n \"palettes\",\n repos = c(\"https://mccarthy-m-g.r-universe.dev\", \"https://repo.r-wasm.org\")\n)\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n``` r\nlibrary(palettes)\n```\n\nColours can be specified by name (as listed by `grDevices::colours()`):\n\n``` r\npal_colour(\"red\")\n```\n\n

\n\nOr by hex code:\n\n``` r\npal_colour(\"#FF0000\")\n```\n\n

\n\nMultiple colours can be specified at once as a character vector:\n\n``` r\npal_colour(c(\"#a00e00\", \"#d04e00\", \"#f6c200\", \"#0086a8\", \"#132b69\"))\n```\n\n

\n\nNamed colour palettes can be specified in the same way:\n\n``` r\npal_palette(\n egypt = c(\"#dd5129\", \"#0f7ba2\", \"#43b284\", \"#fab255\"),\n java = c(\"#663171\", \"#cf3a36\", \"#ea7428\", \"#e2998a\", \"#0c7156\")\n)\n```\n\n

\n\nColours also print nicely in tibbles:\n\n``` r\nas_tibble(pal_colour(c(\"#dd5129\", \"#0f7ba2\", \"#43b284\", \"#fab255\")))\n```\n\n
