read_ase: Read colors from Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) files

In hrbrmstr/adobecolor: A package to read (and eventually write) Adobe color swatch files (.aco / .ase)

Description

Given a path or URL to an .ase file, this function will return a named character vector (if color names are present) of hex RGB colors.

Usage

read_ase(path, use_names = TRUE, .verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

path	partial or full file path or URL to an ASE file
use_names	add color names to the vector (defaults to TRUE). See NOTE
.verbose	show extra information about ASE file processing

Note

When using named color palettes in a ggplot2 scale_ context, you must unname them or set use_names to FALSE. Not sure if this is a bug or a deliberate feature in ggplot2. Also, Neither Lab nor greyscale colors are supported.
