IslamicArt: Color Palettes Inspired by Islamic Art

#' A list of color palettes inspired by Islamic art
#'
#' This is a named list of character vectors with hex colors hand picked from
#' photos Islamic art to give some feel of the original art. Most of them are
#' from architecture. Art from the following cities were selected here:
#' Abu Dhabi, Alhambra, Cordoba, Damascus, Fes, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Konya,
#' Samarqand, and Shiraz. There is also a palette for an Ottoman tile color
#' scheme
#'
#' Efforts were made to avoid overly similar colors in the same palettes as well
#' as colors that are too light. Some cities were not included not because they
#' are not awesome, but because it's difficult to make a good palette from
#' landmarks of those cities.
#'
#' These are the names of palettes available and where they come fome:
#'
#' \describe{
#' \item{shiraz}{Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, Shiraz, Iran}
#' \item{shiraz2}{The Jerrāḥ Pasha Quran Quran, Shiraz}
#' \item{samarqand}{Samarqand Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis}
