 # A Color Wheel
pie(rep(1,12), col=RGBColVec(12))

# A color wheel in the original rainbow
pie(rep(1,6), col=rainbow(6))

# Pastel
pie(rep(1,6), col=RainbowPastel(6))

# Less whiteness
pie(rep(1,6), col=RainbowPastel(6, blanche=127))

# More steps require less whiteness
pie(rep(1,12), col=RainbowPastel(12, blanche=60))

# Test your screen & eyes: any differences?
pie(rep(1,12), col=RainbowPastel(12, blanche=80))
