Creating Custom Palettes
Custom palettes may be generated with the help of packages such as base R or colorRampPalette(), which are code functions.
# Custom palette using colorRampPalette
my_palette <- colorRampPalette(c("red", "yellow", "green"))
barplot(1:10, col = my_palette(10))
Output:
The resulting plot showcases the interpolation of colors between the specified anchor points, resulting in a visually appealing gradient effect.
Color Palettes in R
The art of data visualization involves the use of color palettes as a key ingredient to have a uniform set of colors that will separate our data elements clearly. R guides the creation of simple and attractive charts through its color palettes. This article covers the color palettes (different types), how to apply them, and walks through the practical examples in R Programming Language.
