Palette gallery

All 30 palettes at a glance. Use this page to pick the right one for your plot.

Faceted poster

A ggplot2 version, handy if you want to save it as a PNG or drop it into a slide deck.

Continuous ramps

Sequential and diverging palettes interpolated to 80 stops, so you can see how they look as smooth gradients.

seq_div <- prakriti_info()
seq_div <- seq_div[seq_div$type != "qualitative", ]

ramp_df <- do.call(rbind, lapply(seq_div$name, function(nm) {
  cols <- prakriti_palette(nm, n = 80, type = "continuous")
  data.frame(
    palette = nm,
    pos     = seq_along(cols),
    color   = cols,
    stringsAsFactors = FALSE
  )
}))
ramp_df$palette <- factor(ramp_df$palette, levels = seq_div$name)

ggplot(ramp_df, aes(pos, 1, fill = color)) +
  geom_tile() +
  scale_fill_identity() +
  facet_wrap(~ palette, ncol = 3, strip.position = "top") +
  labs(title = "Continuous interpolation (80 stops)") +
  theme_void(base_size = 11) +
  theme(
    plot.title = element_text(face = "bold", margin = margin(b = 10)),
    strip.text = element_text(face = "bold", size = rel(0.85),
                               margin = margin(b = 2)),
    plot.margin = margin(12, 12, 12, 12)
  )
