rfortherestofus

This is an internal package for R for the Rest of Us.

Installation

Install with the remotes package:

remotes::install_github("https://github.com/rfortherestofus/rfortherestofus")

rru_colors() demo

The function returns a named vector of colors used in R for the Rest of Us plots, and elsewhere. These are based on the website:

  • Blue - #6caadd : the blue from the logo
  • Dark Text - #314D63 : the dark blue text colour from the website
  • Light Text - #8394A1 : a lighter variant of the dark blue text color
  • Pale Blue - #E1EEF8 : a pale blue based on the logo blue, which is currently used for gridlines
rfortherestofus::rru_colors()
##       Blue  Dark Text Light Text  Pale Blue 
##  "#6caadd"  "#314D63"  "#8394A1"  "#E1EEF8"
rfortherestofus::rru_colors("Dark Text", "Pale Blue")
## [1] "#314D63" "#E1EEF8"

It uses the font “Inter”, which is available via Google Fonts. Make sure you install it on your device and import it into R before making use of this theme.
