Automatic colour ranges are supported using grDevices::palette(), as the default palette. A contiguous colour palette is available as grDevices::cm.colors(), with a rainbow available as grDevices::rainbow(). Others palletes includegrDevices::gray(), which provides a gray scale, colorRamps::blue2green2red(), and RColorBrewer::brewer.pal().

## [15] "#CC0000"

Use graphics::image() to display the colour plots as above.

image(matrix(1:100, 10), col=cm.colors(10))
image(matrix(1:100, 10), col=rainbow(10))
image(matrix(1:60,  10), col=gray(seq(0.1, 0.9, len=6)))
image(matrix(1:150, 10), col=blue2green2red(15))
image(matrix(1:110, 10), col=brewer.pal(11, "PRGn"))
image(matrix(1:110, 10), col=brewer.pal(11, "RdBu"))
image(matrix(1:80,  10), col=brewer.pal(8,  "Accent"))
