paletteer is an R package by Emil Hvitfeldt that aggregates color palettes from many other R packages, providing a unified, streamlined interface to access discrete, continuous, and dynamic palettes. It is intended to simplify choosing color schemes when plotting, remove the friction of remembering different palette package APIs, and make high‐quality color aesthetics more accessible. Some palettes change depending on the number of colors requested; the ability to reverse palettes. Support both discrete palettes (fixed number of colors) and continuous palettes (interpolated).
Features
- Large collection of palettes from many R packages with a unified interface to call them
- Support both discrete palettes (fixed number of colors) and continuous palettes (interpolated)
- Integration with ggplot2 via scales (scale_colour_paletteer_d, scale_fill_paletteer_d, etc.) for seamless plotting usage
- Dynamic palettes: some palettes change depending on number of colors requested; ability to reverse palettes etc
- Lightweight / no heavy dependencies; most operations are simple color vector manipulation
- Good documentation, gallery / examples showing many palettes in context to help choices and visual effects
