Read, Inspect, Manipulate, and Save Color Swatch Files

Description

There are numerous places to create and download color palettes. These are usually shared in Adobe swatch file formats of some kind. There is also often the need to use standard palettes developed within an organization to ensure that aesthetics are carried over into all projects and output. Now there is a way to read these swatch files in R and avoid transcribing or converting color values by hand or or with other programs. This package provides functions to read and inspect Adobe Color (ACO), Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE), GIMP Palette (GPL), OpenOffice palette (SOC) files and KDE Palette ("colors") files. Detailed descriptions of Adobe Color and Swatch Exchange file formats as well as other swatch file formats can be found at http://www.selapa.net/swatches/colors/fileformats.php.
