Vincent van Gogh Color Palettes

The goal of vangogh is to provide users with color palettes inspired by a selection of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings. These palettes also aim to increase the aesthetic appeal of data plots. Each palette contains 5 handpicked colors and were manually added by hex codes.

vangogh palettes can be used in conjunction with ggplot2 or plot to provide colors to data plots (for visualising qualitative data, sequential plots etc).

Some vangogh functions include:

• vangogh_palette()
• viz_palette()
• scale_color_manual()
• scale_color_vangogh()
• scale_fill_vangogh()
