Call for contributions: Your color palettes?

[hneth]

The color palettes included in the unikn package are based on the corporate design specifications of the University of Konstanz. However, the package's color-related functions makes it easy and straightforward to define color palettes for other purposes and institutions. (See the newpal() function or our vignette on Institutional colors for instructions.)

Have you used unikn to create your own color palettes? If so, please let us know!

We collect color palettes from other institutions to make them available to R users in future versions of unikn.

To enable us to verify and provide appropriate credit to your contributions, please provide us with the following information:

1. your code (e.g., the newpal() command creating your color palette),
2. your source (e.g., some URL with color definitions),
3. your name and some contact information (e.g., an Email address).

We're looking forward to your contributions!

Introducing the R package unicol

Due to an increasing number of color palettes, the color palettes from other institutions have now been migrated to a dedicated R package unicol. However, contributions of your color palettes are still welcome, of course — see this issue for details.
