Add palettes for Denali and Great Basin #5

Here are some suggested colour palettes, in relation to #2 and #3 .

I wasn't sure if you had a preferred approach, but I went from top to bottom - totally happy for you to change things around or add/remove colours!

Coincidentally, I found out about the MapPalletes package this morning, which has a great function get_colors_from_image() that will create a colour palette from an image URL. I tried it with these two posters, and while on the one hand the palettes looked lovely, they miss out on the small accent colours a little (for e.g. the brighter orange in Denali and the green in Great Basin).

For info, the suggestions were: 

Denali <- c("#312C2A", "#853B13", "#587473", "#86A0A2", "#D1D7D4", "#FEFEFE")
GreatBasin <- c("#212220", "#515359", "#91928E", "#73BBE0", "#DCEAEF")

Thanks for checking that out! I agree that manual selection seem better for now to get accent colors :) I'll merge this later when I have my laptop with me.
