In kaizadp/soilpalettes: A Soil Color Palette Package

soilpalettes

This package contains color palettes for RStudio, inspired by soil profiles. Palettes are colorblind-friendly and were created using Chroma.js and Coolors.

Source images and color hex values can be found in the images.md file in the root directory.
