Comprehensive list of color palettes in r

The goal of this repository is to have a one stop destination for anyone looking for a color palette to use in r. If you would like to help/contribute please feel free post an issue, PR or send a email to emilhhvitfeldt@gmail.com.

----- Attention ----- As this project is still in its early days I especially appreciate feedback on packages I have overlooked.

Further down the page is all the palettes available in the R ecosystem order alphabetically by package name. A list of palettes ordered by type can be found here Type sorted palettes to shorten the length of this page.

Blogposts and other resources

Here is a collection of material on the use and creation of color palettes in r.

Generative packages

The purpose of this project is to showcase the palettes already available in R (packages). However sometimes you have to resort to make one yourself. When that is the case the following packages aides in creating.

When creating color palettes certain website have also provided valuable

Honorable mentions

Due to the somehow vague notion of "color palette" have I decided to exclude certain kinds of packages from the main gallery. Generative package have been discussed earlier.

cpt-city

The amazing cpt-city is a wonderful project of creating an archive of color palettes to be used in cartography, technical illustration and design. Due to the immense size (7140) I have decided to refer to it instead of re-illustration them in this repository. If any of the palettes found here are for your liking they can be accessed in R using the following package:

# CRAN version
install.packages("cptcity")

sport colors

Many of the palettes in sports related palettes have a very limited number of colors (often only 2 colors). This leads to quite low usability outside of the special area of sports analytic.

colorr Color palettes for EPL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL teams.
beanumber/teamcolors An R package providing color palettes for pro sports teams.

Canva palettes

The ggthemes package include the 150 four-color palettes from the canva.com. Doe to the size and limited number of colors in the palettes these palettes will be featured on their own page and only once.
