DresdenColor

The Dresden Files inspired color palette for R users.
In honor of the recent release of Brief Cases by Jim Butcher I created a family of Dresden Files inspired color palettes using the cover art by Chris McGrath from Orbit Books.
Code adapted from LaCroixColorR written by Dave Armitage and Johannes Bjork.

Install the package

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("katiesaund/DresdenColor")

Choose from 3 kinds of palettes: "discrete", "continuous", and "paired"

Discrete

dresden_palette("briefcases", type = "discrete")

Inspired by:

Continuous

dresden_palette("briefcases", n = 50, type = "continuous")

dresden_palette("foolmoon", n = 50, type = "continuous")

Paired

dresden_palette(type = "paired")

Plots with Brief Case palette

mat <- matrix(rnorm(n = 100, mean = 0, sd = 20), ncol = 10)
heatmap(mat, col = dresden_palette("foolmoon", type = "continuous", n = length(unique(mat))))

Create a palette from any novel title (one word, all lowercase):

Many thanks to Jim Butcher!!!
