Color palette generators

Generate vectors of hex color codes from the palettes available in ggastrum. Each palette is designed for smooth gradients and colorblind accessibility. These functions are useful for base R plots, manual color specifications, or any context where a vector of colors is needed.

Usage

solaris_pal(n = 6)

viridis_pal(n = 6)

grayscale_pal(n = 6)

inferno_pal(n = 6)

doplar_pal(n = 6)

Arguments

n

Integer. Number of colors to return (default 6).

Value

A character vector of n hex color codes.

Details

viridis_pal

Perceptually uniform (viridis option D). Purple to yellow gradient.

inferno_pal

Perceptually uniform (viridis option B). Dark purple to yellow gradient.

grayscale_pal

Black-to-light-grey gradient. Best for print publications.

solaris_pal

Custom purple-to-gold gradient via Lab-space interpolation. Pairs with theme_solaris.

doplar_pal

Blue-to-red diverging palette based on ColorBrewer RdBu. Pairs well with the theme_solaris theme for showing diverging data.

The global palette used by ggplot2 scales can be set via set_theme(palette = ...).
