R Documentation

MLB colors

Description

Returns a named character vector of hex colors for an MLB team. Teams cover the 2026 Major League Baseball season. Call colorr.teams("mlb") for the full list of team names.

Usage

mlb.colors(
  set = c("angels", "astros", "athletics", "blue_jays", "braves", "brewers", "cardinals",
    "cubs", "diamondbacks", "dodgers", "giants", "guardians", "indians", "mariners",
    "marlins", "mets", "nationals", "orioles", "padres", "phillies", "pirates",
    "rangers", "rays", "red_sox", "reds", "rockies", "royals", "tigers", "twins",
    "white_sox", "yankees"),
  legacy = FALSE
)

Arguments

`set`	Character string naming an MLB team. The retired team name `"indians"` still resolves, to the renamed franchise.
`legacy`	Logical. If `TRUE`, return the palette that shipped with colorr 1.0.1 instead of the current one, so older figures stay reproducible. Not every team has a legacy palette; teams added since 1.0.1 will throw an error.

Value

Named character vector of hex color strings.
