colouRpop R package

Welcome to colouRpop!

I made some color palettes based on ColourPop's eyeshadow palettes! Are they the most practical color palettes to make figures with?

Of course not! But are they fun? I think so!

Hope you enjoy :)

Installation

To install the package, run:

devtools::install_github("michaeladebolt/colouRpop" )
library(colouRpop)

Preview palettes

After you've installed the package, to preview what a palette looks like you can run:

colouRpop(palette = "malibu_barbie", show_me = TRUE)

colouRpop(palette = "its_a_mood", show_me = TRUE)

colouRpop(palette = "the_child", show_me = TRUE)

colouRpop(palette = "limoncello", show_me = TRUE)

Use the palettes

To use a palette in a figure, delete the show_me argument, or change it to FALSE (the default is FALSE). You can use the colouRpop function directly in a plot, or save the output to an object to use in a plot. For example:

fake_data <- data.frame(x = as.factor(rnorm(n = 9, mean = 5, sd = 1) ),
                        y = as.factor(rnorm(n = 9, mean = 5, sd = 1)))

ggplot(data = fake_data, 
       aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_point(color = colouRpop(palette = "big_poppy"), 
             size = 12.5) +
  theme_void()

You can also save the output of the function to an object, and then use that object in your plot. For example:

colors <- colouRpop(palette = "its_a_mood", show_me = FALSE)

fake_data <- data.frame(x = as.factor(rnorm(n = 28, mean = 5, sd = 1) ),
                        y = as.factor(rnorm(n = 28, mean = 5, sd = 1)))

ggplot(data = fake_data, 
       aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_point(color = colors, 
             size = 12.5) +
  theme_void()

It's an eyeshadow-inspired color palette R package. Is it extremely useful? Absolutely not - but it's fun!</p>— Michaela DeBolt (@MDeBoltC) <a href="https://twitter.com/MDeBoltC/status/1486858378945052672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 28, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
