adjacent: Adjacent or analogous colors

In colortools: Tools for colors in a Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) color model

Description

Adjacent color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. These colors usually match well and create comfortable designs.

Usage

  adjacent(color, plot = TRUE, bg = "white", labcol = NULL,
    cex = 0.8, title = TRUE)

Arguments

color	an R color name or a color in hexadecimal notation
plot	logical value indicating whether to plot a color wheel with the generated scheme
bg	background color of the plot. Used only when plot=TRUE
labcol	color for the labels (i.e. names of the colors). Used only when plot=TRUE
cex	numeric value indicating the character expansion of the labels
title	logical value indicating whether to display a title in the plot. Used only when plot=TRUE

Details

The analogous colors are obtained following a color wheel with 12 colors, each one spaced at 30 degrees from each other.

Value

A character vector with the given color and the analogous colors in hexadecimal notation
