blueycolors

blueycolors provides color palettes and ggplot2 color and fill scales inspired by Bluey

Installation

You can install blueycolors from CRAN via:

install.packages("blueycolors")

Alternatively, you can install the package from from Github using devtools:

devtools::install_github("ekholme/blueycolors")

Usage

There are probably 2 main uses for this package:

1. Extracting palettes and their associated hex codes
2. Using these palettes as color or fill aesthetics in ggplot2

To extract palettes & hex codes, use the bluey_palette() function:

library(blueycolors)

bluey_palette("bluey")
#> [1] "#d2ebff" "#88cafc" "#404066" "#2b2c41" "#edcc6f"

To use the palettes in ggplot, use scale_color_bluey() and scale_fill_bluey() for discrete scales or scale_color_bluey_c() and scale_fill_bluey_c() for continuous scales.

library(ggplot2)

tmp <- data.frame(
  x = rnorm(100),
  y = rnorm(100),
  z = rep(c("a", "b", "c", "d"), 25)
)

ggplot(tmp, aes(x = x, y = y, color = z)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_color_bluey()

tmp2 <- data.frame(
  x = 1:5,
  y = c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e")
) 

ggplot(tmp2, aes(x = x, y = y, fill = y)) +
  geom_col() +
  scale_fill_bluey(option = "socks")

There are currently 4 different palettes available, but the “heeler” option probably provides the best contrast.

Palettes

Bluey (default)

library(scales)

show_col(bluey_palette("bluey"))

Chilli

show_col(bluey_palette("chilli"))

Heeler

show_col(bluey_palette("heeler"))

Socks

show_col(bluey_palette("socks"))
