'Creates Color Palettes Inspired by Dune'

Enables the use of color palettes inspired by the 'Dune' movies. These palettes are compatible with 'ggplot2'. See Wickham (2016) for more details on 'ggplot2'.

Rdune

The {Rdune} package offers a collection of color palettes inspired by ‘Dune’, designed for use in data visualizations and graphics with {ggplot2}.

The structure of the code and creative inspiration were drawn from the {PrettyCols}, {wesanderson}, {MetBrewer}, {PNWColors} packages.

Colors were selected using {eyedroppeR}.

Installation

{Rdune} is available on CRAN. Install using:

install.packages("Rdune")

Or you can install the development version of Rdune from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("nvietto/Rdune")
