It’s been a long time coming, but swatches<\/code>?<\/a> is now on CRAN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is “swatches”?<\/h2>\n

First off, swatches<\/code> has nothing to do with those faux-luxury brand Swiss-made timepieces. swatches<\/code> is all about c<\/span>o<\/span>l<\/span>o<\/span>r<\/span>.<\/p>\n

R\/CRAN has plenty of color picking packages. The colourlovers<\/code>?<\/a> ? by @thosjleeper is one of my favs. But, color palettes have been around for ages. Adobe has two: Adobe Color (ACO) and Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE); GIMP has “GPL”; OpenOffice has “SOC” and KDE has the unimaginative “colors”. So. Many. Formats. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a package that read them all in with a simple read_palette()<\/code> function? Well, now there is.<\/p>\n

I threw together a fledgling version of swatches<\/code> a few years ago to read in ACO files from a $DAYJOB at the time and it cascaded from there. I decided to resurrect it and get it on CRAN to support a forthcoming “year in review” post that will make its way to your RSS feeds on-or-about December 31st.<\/p>\n

True Colors Shining Through<\/h2>\n

Let’s say you want to get ahead of the game in 2018 and start preparing to dazzle your audience by using a palette that incorporates PANTONE’s 2018 Color of the Year (yes, that’s “a thing”) : Ultra Violet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you scroll down there, you’ll see a download link<\/a> for an ASE version of the palettes. We can skip that and start with some R code:<\/p>\n

library(swatches)\r\nlibrary(hrbrthemes)\r\nlibrary(tidyverse)\r\n\r\ndownload.file("https:\/\/www.pantone.com\/images\/pages\/21348\/adobe-ase\/Pantone-COY18-Palette-ASE-files.zip", "ultra_violet.zip")\r\nunique(dirname((unzip("ultra_violet.zip"))))\r\n## [1] ".\/Pantone COY18 Palette ASE files"\r\n## [2] ".\/__MACOSX\/Pantone COY18 Palette ASE files"\r\n\r\n\r\ndir(".\/Pantone COY18 Palette ASE files")\r\n#  [1] "PantoneCOY18-Attitude.ase"         "PantoneCOY18-Desert Sunset.ase"   \r\n#  [3] "PantoneCOY18-Drama Queen.ase"      "PantoneCOY18-Floral Fantasies.ase"\r\n#  [5] "PantoneCOY18-Intrigue.ase"         "PantoneCOY18-Kindred Spirits.ase" \r\n#  [7] "PantoneCOY18-Purple Haze.ase"      "PantoneCOY18-Quietude.ase"<\/code><\/pre>\n
Ah, if only the designers cleaned up their ZIP file.<\/p>\n
We’ve got eight palettes to poke at, and hopefully one will be decent enough to use for our plots.<\/p>\n
Let’s take a look:<\/p>\n
par(mfrow=c(8,1))\r\n\r\ndir(".\/Pantone COY18 Palette ASE files", full.names=TRUE) %>% \r\n  walk(~{\r\n    pal_name <- gsub("(^[[:alnum:]]+-|\\\\.ase$)", "", basename(.x))\r\n    show_palette(read_palette(.x))\r\n    title(pal_name)\r\n  })\r\n\r\npar(mfrow=c(1,1))<\/code><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
I had initially thought I’d go for “Attitude”, but f.lux<\/span> kicked in and “Intrigue” warmed better, so let’s go with that one.<\/p>\n
(intrigue <- read_palette(".\/Pantone COY18 Palette ASE files\/PantoneCOY18-Intrigue.ase"))\r\n## PANTONE 19-4053 TCX PANTONE 17-4328 TCX PANTONE 18-3838 TCX PANTONE 18-0324 TCX PANTONE 19-3917 TCX \r\n##           "#195190"           "#3686A0"           "#5F4B8B"           "#757A4E"           "#4E4B51" \r\n## PANTONE 15-0927 TCX PANTONE 14-5002 TCX PANTONE 14-3949 TCX \r\n##           "#BD9865"           "#A2A2A1"           "#B7C0D7"<\/code><\/pre>\n
Having the PANTONE names is all-well-and-good, but those are going to be less-useful in a ggplot2<\/code> context due to the way factors are mapped to names in character color vectors in manual scales, so let’s head that off at the pass:<\/p>\n
(intrigue <- read_palette(".\/Pantone COY18 Palette ASE files\/PantoneCOY18-Intrigue.ase", use_names=FALSE))\r\n## [1] "#195190" "#3686A0" "#5F4B8B" "#757A4E" "#4E4B51" "#BD9865" "#A2A2A1" "#B7C0D7"<\/code><\/pre>\n
Beautiful.<\/p>\n
Let’s put our new color scale to work! We’ve got 8 colors to work with, but won’t need all of them (at least for a quick example):<\/p>\n
ggplot(economics_long, aes(date, value)) +\r\n  geom_area(aes(fill=variable)) +\r\n  scale_y_comma() +\r\n  scale_fill_manual(values=intrigue) +\r\n  facet_wrap(~variable, scales = "free", nrow = 2, strip.position = "bottom") +\r\n  theme_ipsum_rc(grid="XY", strip_text_face="bold") +\r\n  theme(strip.placement = "outside") +\r\n  theme(legend.position=c(0.85, 0.2))<\/code><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
This is far from a perfect palette, but it definitely helped illustrate basic package usage without inflicting ocular damage (remember: I could<\/em> have picked an obnoxious Christmas palette :-)<\/p>\n
More Practical Uses<\/h2>\n
If your workplace or the workplace you’re consulting for has brand guidelines, then they likely have swatches in one of the supported formats. Lot’s do<\/a>.<\/p>\n
You can keep those colors swatches in their native format and try out different ones as your designers refresh their baseline styles.<\/p>\n
FIN<\/h2>\n
As always, kick the tyres<\/a>, file issues, questions or PRs and hopefully the package will help refresh some designs for all of us in the coming year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
