20200608
R provides a collection of predefined named colours as returned by grDevices::colours():
length(colours())
## [1] 657
colours() %>% sample(12)
## [1] "coral4" "lightsalmon" "gray53" "red3"
## [5] "grey56" "peru" "khaki1" "firebrick2"
## [9] "aquamarine" "gray52" "paleturquoise4" "gray71"
Colours can be selected using epitools::colors.plot() with
locator=``TRUE
to display a plot containing all of the
named colours. Multiple clicks with the left mouse button on colours
(we hear a beep for each click) will return the colour names.
as.character(colors.plot(locator=TRUE)$color.names)
