dittoColors: Extracts the dittoSeq default colors

In dtm2451/DittoSeq: User Friendly Single-Cell and Bulk RNA Sequencing Visualization

Extracts the dittoSeq default colors

Description

Creates a string vector of 40 unique colors, in hexadecimal form, repeated 100 times. Or, if get.names is set to TRUE, outputs the names of the colors which can be helpful as reference when adjusting how colors get used.

These colors are a modification of the protanope and deuteranope friendly colors from Wong, B. Nature Methods, 2011.

Truly, only the first 1-7 are maximally (red-green) color-blindness friendly, but the lightened and darkened versions (plus grey) in slots 8-40 still work releatively well at extending their utility further. Note that past 40, the colors simply repeat in order to most easily allow dittoSeq visualizations to handle situations requiring even more colors.

The colors are:

1-7 = Suggested color panel from Wong, B. Nature Methods, 2011, minus black

• 1- orange = "#E69F00"

• 2- skyBlue = "#56B4E9"

• 3- bluishGreen = "#009E73"

• 4- yellow = "#F0E442"

• 5- blue = "#0072B2"

• 6- vermillion = "#D55E00"

• 7- reddishPurple = "#CC79A7"

8 = gray40

9-16 = 25% darker versions of colors 1-8

17-24 = 25% lighter versions of colors 1-8

25-32 = 40% lighter versions of colors 1-8

33-40 = 40% darker versions of colors 1-8

Usage

dittoColors(reps = 100, get.names = FALSE)

Arguments

reps	Integer which sets how many times the original set of colors should be repeated
get.names	Logical, whether only the names of the default dittoSeq color panel should be returned instead

Value

A string vector with length = 24.
