An R color palette for {ggplot2} using NOAA Fisheries branding colors
{nmfspalette} implements these
steps
to create a {ggplot2} compatible palette according to NOAA Fisheries
branding(NOAA
internal only).

learnr tutorial.
Extract an interpolated color palette from the default “oceans” palette.
You can change the number of colors (10 shown below).
nmfspalette::nmfs_palette("oceans")(10)
#> [1] "#A6D4EC" "#78BEE2" "#4AA8D9" "#1C92CF" "#0072BB" "#004295" "#002B7B"
#> [8] "#002467" "#001D55" "#001743"To see the palettes, use the display_nmfs_palette() function.
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("oceans", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("waves", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("seagrass", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("urchin", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("crustacean", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("coral", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("regional", 6)
In addition to nmfs_palette and display_nmfs_palette to get
palettes, you can extract colors by name. Please see the NOAA Fisheries
Branding
guide(NOAA
internal only) for color names. Here, all spaces are removed in the
color names.
nmfspalette::nmfs_cols("processblue")
#> processblue
#> "#0085CA"To use the palettes with {ggplot2}, the scale_color_nmfs() and
scale_fill_nmfs() functions are provided. If no argument is given to
scale_color_nmfs(), a default (“oceans”) is used:
p <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
geom_point(size = 4) +
scale_color_nmfs()
p
scale_fill_nmfs() does not have a default and therefore requires a
named argument, this is an example using the “crustacean” palette:
ggplot(faithfuld, aes(waiting, eruptions)) +
geom_raster(aes(fill = density)) +
scale_fill_nmfs(palette = "crustacean", discrete = FALSE, reverse = TRUE)
