adjacent: Adjacent or analogous colors

Description

Adjacent color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. These colors usually match well and create comfortable designs.

Usage

adjacent(color, plot = TRUE, bg = "white", labcol = NULL, cex = 0.8, title = TRUE)

Arguments

color

an R color name or a color in hexadecimal notation

plot

logical value indicating whether to plot a color wheel with the generated scheme

bg

background color of the plot. Used only when plot=TRUE

labcol

color for the labels (i.e. names of the colors). Used only when plot=TRUE

cex

numeric value indicating the character expansion of the labels

title

logical value indicating whether to display a title in the plot. Used only when plot=TRUE

Value

A character vector with the given color and the analogous colors in hexadecimal notation

Details

The analogous colors are obtained following a color wheel with 12 colors, each one spaced at 30 degrees from each other.
