R Documentation

NHL colors

Description

Returns a named character vector of hex colors for an NHL team. Teams cover the 2026-27 NHL season, plus the Arizona Coyotes. Call colorr.teams("nhl") for the full list of team names.

Usage

nhl.colors(
  set = c("avalanche", "blackhawks", "blue_jackets", "blues", "bruins", "canadiens",
    "canucks", "capitals", "coyotes", "devils", "ducks", "flames", "flyers",
    "golden_knights", "hurricanes", "islanders", "jets", "kings", "kraken", "lightning",
    "maple_leafs", "oilers", "panthers", "penguins", "predators", "rangers", "red_wings",
    "sabres", "senators", "sharks", "stars", "utah", "wild"),
  legacy = FALSE
)

Arguments

`set`	Character string naming an NHL team.
`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.
