Credits

This package was mostly built to teach me package development. It was largely inspired by Ewen Henderson’s ghibli package and Karthik Ram’s wesanderson package.

The palettes themselves come from 10 Color Palettes Based on Famous Paintings and Color Lisa. Check those out for other awesome palettes.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
