Colour palettes using colours from The Kids Research Institute Australia.

Usage

thekids_palettes

Format

A nested list of colourmaps Palettes are stored in a nested list of palette variants, which can be accessed by: thekids_palettes$<variant>$<name>

  • Sequential palettes: Continuous colour gradients for ordered data values

    • thekids_palettes$sequential$primary

    • thekids_palettes$sequential$tint50

    • thekids_palettes$sequential$tint10

    • mono-colour sequential ramps, accessed by thekids_palettes$sequential$... saffron, pumpkin, teal, celestialblue, azureblue, midnightblue, coolgrey

    These return palette functions of the form function(n) for continuous scales.

  • Diverging palettes: Two-ended colour gradients deviating about a central white reference point.

    • thekids_palettes$diverging$pumpkin2celestial

    • thekids_palettes$diverging$saffron2teal

    • thekids_palettes$diverging$saffron2midnight

    These return palette functions of the form function(n) for diverging scales.

  • Qualitative palettes: Sets of visually distinct colours for nominal (unordered) categories.

    • thekids_palettes$qualitative$primary - NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

    • thekids_palettes$qualitative$tint50 - NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

    • thekids_palettes$qualitative$tint10 - NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

    These return a named list of colours.

Details

In addition to the nested lists (sequential, diverging and qualitative), there are also three separate lists at the base level, namely: $primary, $tint50, $tint10. These historically contained the list of The Kids colours (which have now been moved to thekids_colours) but have been left here for backwards compatibility. Future updates of thekidsbiostats package will remove these lists from thekids_palettes object.
