rcolors: 270 ncl colormaps in R

Installation

install.packages("rcolors")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to use rcolors:

library(rcolors)
cols = rcolors$amwg_blueyellowred
show_cols(cols)

(cols_1 = get_color(rcolors$amwg_blueyellowred, n = 20))
#>  [1] "#8220F0" "#1B06A8" "#0000B5" "#1726D4" "#3B6FE5" "#1F8DFD" "#07B2FF"
#>  [8] "#54C9FF" "#AFDDFF" "#D6F6F9" "#FAFDCD" "#FFEA61" "#FFC61A" "#FF9A00"
#> [15] "#FF6800" "#FF1100" "#DC0000" "#B70E0E" "#B33141" "#FF69B4"
(cols_2 = get_color("amwg_blueyellowred", n = 20))
#>  [1] "#8220F0" "#1B06A8" "#0000B5" "#1726D4" "#3B6FE5" "#1F8DFD" "#07B2FF"
