I saved you from boring plots. What did you ever do? - Max Fischer (probably)

Tired of generic mass produced palettes for your plots? Short of adding an owl and dressing up your plot in a bowler hat, here’s the most indie thing you can do to one. First round of palettes derived from the amazing Tumblr blog Wes Anderson Palettes.

Installation

install.packages("wesanderson")

Or the development version

devtools::install_github("karthik/wesanderson")
