Pride R Palettes

Ever need a fun color palette for your graphs, plots, or… for anything else in . I have created a list of palettes based on a number of pride flags, encompassing the original Baker flag created in 1977 to the non-binary flag created in 2014.

Thanks, Matt for the fun idea!

Colors drawn from flags at this article.

Examples

bakerpride is 8 colors, which can be displayed using;

image(1:8,1,as.matrix(1:8),col=pridepalettes$bakerpride,xlab="", ylab="",xaxt="n",yaxt="n",bty="n")

Output:

Using OrchardSprays, I created two boxplots, decrease ~ treatment with transpride and nonbinarypride palettes using;

plot(decrease ~ treatment, OrchardSprays, col=pridepalettes$transpride)

Output:

plot(decrease ~ treatment, OrchardSprays, col=pridepalettes$nonbinarypride)

Output:
