This repository is a curated collection of color palettes crafted or curated for data visualization in R. The goal is to provide designers, data scientists, and R users with aesthetically pleasing, perceptually consistent color schemes that work well for plots, maps, and graphics. The repo contains static files listing palette definitions (e.g. hex codes, named hues), sample visualizations showing how each palette performs under different contexts (categorical, sequential, diverging), and helper functions/scripts to import or use the palettes in R. The author also documents palette provenance and usage guidance (contrast, readability, colorblind friendliness). While not a full package in itself, it’s often used as a reference or source of palette definitions for other R plotting or theming packages.
