The goal of colorhex is to create an interface to color-hex.com, a website with hexidecimal colors and information about them.

It also has lots of user-made palettes that can be used and browsed.

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("drmowinckels/colorhex", ref = "main")
