Flexible control of the chlorophyll-a palette. If x is a single number, the function returns that many colours evenly spaced from the palette. If x is a vector of multiple values the palette is queried for colours matching those values, and these are returned. If x is missing and palette is FALSE then a function is returned that will generate n evenly spaced colours from the palette, as per colorRampPalette.
