paletteer is an R package providing a unified interface to thousands of color palettes collected from dozens of R packages, with discrete, dynamic, and continuous palette support. Its companion repository r-color-palettes is a comprehensive browsable showcase of all these palettes.
Use cases
- find a color palette for ggplot2 plots
- access thousands of R color palettes through one package
- browse color palettes visually before choosing one
- get continuous color scales for heatmaps
- apply consistent color schemes across multiple R visualizations
- pick qualitative palettes for categorical data
When to choose
- you work in R and need a wide variety of color palettes with a single consistent API
- you want to avoid installing many palette packages individually
- you need both discrete and continuous palettes for ggplot2 or base graphics
When to avoid
- you need palettes in Python, JavaScript, or another language
- you only need one specific palette system already available in a smaller dedicated package
- you require a permissive license - the repo has no explicit license
