coloRify

Are you, like me, tired of errors complaining you need more colors than your palette contains? No problem!

🌈 Colorify makes color creation and modification intuitive and effortless. Colorify is lightweight and dependency-free yet combines functionality of popular color and visualization packages, including:

  • viridis palettes, that are perceptually uniform and colorblind-friendly: Viridis, Turbo, Inferno, Cividis, Plasma, Rocket & Mako.
  • Rcolorbrewer palettes and inspired palette visualization.
  • ggplot2 easy-to-use integration of scale_color_* and scale_fill_* bindings.
  • base R (grDevices) palettes: Rainbow, Heat, Terrain, Topo, Cm & all hcl/pal palettes.
  • Okabe-Ito palette, for a highly distinct and colorblind-safe scheme.

But… I already have my own cool color palettes! Why should I need Colorify? Colorify can make your colors even COOLOR✨! By slightly adjusting hue, saturation, brightness or by nudging individual RGB channells your visualizations become more vibrant and clear! A bit of HSL/RGB knowledge goes a long way toward crafting perfectly balanced and visually distinct color palettes. Simply drop in your own colors and palettes or pick them from the overview, Colorify automatically generates maximally different colors as need by.

🌈 Colorify also lets you…

  • Create color gradients between palette or custom colors
  • Map color gradients to specific value ranges
  • Build color functions when plots generette colors dynamically
  • Convert from HSV/hexcolor to RGB color space
