The goal of nationalparkcolors is to provide an interface to the beautiful colors in National Park posters and images. The posters are a mix of the WPA originals and more modern remakes.
You can install the released version of nationalparkcolors from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("katiejolly/nationalparkcolors")
There are 25 total palettes to choose from.

pal <- park_palette("MtRainier")If you want a specific number of colors, you can also do that.
pal <- park_palette("MtRainier", 4)
Along with the nice color palettes, I also hope that people think more about the national park system when using this package. I am not affiliated with the Park Service, but if you’d like to support them you can donate here.
