fun with R Colors

If you want high-quality, scientifically-researched color schemes for your R plots, check out the RColorBrewer package. If you want your plots to be colored the same way as packs of Skittles (or M&Ms), then this package (RSkittleBrewer) is the way to go.

install

with devtools:

devtools::install_github('RSkittleBrewer', 'alyssafrazee')

use

There are only two functions in this package.

Call RSkittleBrewer on a flavor to get a vector of R color names that correspond to that Skittle flavor.

original_colors = RSkittleBrewer('original')
tropical_colors = RSkittleBrewer('tropical')
wildberry_colors = RSkittleBrewer('wildberry')
mm_colors = RSkittleBrewer('M&M')

In this project, M&M is a Skittle flavor. It's cool.

plotSkittles() makes a super awesome illustration of the color schemes.

I must know more!
