Introduction

This vignette demonstrates the available colour palettes in the INBOtheme package. We show the palette as a plot with numbered rectangles. The number indicates the order in the palette.

Palettes

`inbo_palette()`

`vlaanderen_palette()`

`traffic_palette()`

Note that the traffic_palette() has a variable number of colours. It starts from a dark red colour and changes into a light green colour. Going gradually from dark to light makes this palette readable for colour blind people.

traffic_palette() with 9 levels.

traffic_palette() with 3 levels.

`ordinal_palette()`

ordinal_palette() has a variable number of colours. It starts with a dark colour and end with a light colour. Other colours are intermediate colours, resulting in a gradient from dark to light. The colours depend on the active ggplot2 theme.
