This is a color palette R package that contains 128 palettes from Color Lisa.

Installation

Install the released version of lisa from CRAN:

install.packages("lisa")

Or install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tylurp/lisa")

If you aren’t an R user, you might be interested in palettes.yml which contains all palettes in YAML format.

Palettes

Here’s a sample of the available palettes:

library(lisa)

par(mfrow = c(6, 3))
lapply(sample(lisa, 18), plot)

You can also call and/or modify palettes using lisa_palette:

x <- lisa_palette("JackBush_1", 1000, "continuous")
y <- lisa_palette("PabloPicasso", 2, "discrete")
z <- lisa_palette("KatsushikaHokusai", 1000, "continuous")
lapply(list(x, y, z), plot)

All palettes have 3 attributes associated with them, you can access them with the lisa list:

lisa$VincentvanGogh
#> * Work: The Starry Night 
#> * Author: Vincent van Gogh 
#> * Colors: #1a3431 #2b41a7 #6283c8 #ccc776 #c7ad24
