In EdwinTh/paletti:

Create your own color palettes and apply them in ggplot2 in a breeze. All you have to bring are the hex codes from you company or maybe derived from your favorite paintings? Based on the great work by the ochRe team.

Input is either a named list with palettes, or a single palette. (A palette is a character vector with hex codes of the colors.) Use viz_pallette to view all the colors in a palette

# devtools::install_github("edwinth/paletti")
library(paletti)
library(ggplot2)
viz_palette(ochre_palettes$lorikeet, "lorikeet colors")

From both a list of palettes and a single palette, you can create your own scale_fill and scale_color functions to be used in ggplot2. If these are based on a list of palettes, the functions will have an argument to select which of the palettes in the list to use.

# based on a single palette:
my_comp_fill <- get_scale_fill(get_pal(my_company_cols))
my_comp_col  <- get_scale_color(get_pal(my_company_cols))


ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, drat, col = as.character(cyl))) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  my_comp_col()

ggplot(mtcars, aes(as.character(cyl), fill = as.character(cyl))) +
  geom_bar() +
  my_comp_fill()

# based on a list of palettes:
dutchmasters_fill <- get_scale_fill(get_pal(dutchmasters))
dutchmasters_col  <- get_scale_color(get_pal(dutchmasters))

# scales based on lists default to the first palette
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, drat, col = as.character(cyl))) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  dutchmasters_col()

ggplot(mtcars, aes(as.character(cyl), fill = as.character(cyl))) +
  geom_bar() +
  dutchmasters_fill("little_street")

The scales search for optimal contrast within the colors provided. The function get_hex creates a function that returns requested hex codes. It is created from a named palette. The returned function allows you to query with unquoted color names.

my_company_cols
mc_hex <- get_hex(my_company_cols)
mc_hex(yellow, blue, red)

voD_hex <- get_hex(dutchmasters$view_of_Delft)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(as.character(cyl), fill = as.character(cyl))) +
  geom_bar()  +
  scale_fill_manual(values = voD_hex(
    blue(sky), red(roofs2), yellow(quay)
  ))
