# dutchmasters

This package offers six color palettes derived from paintings by the Dutch

masters Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt van Rijn. This package is inspired by

the [`ochRe` package](https://github.com/ropenscilabs/ochRe/) and functions

from this package have been shamelessly copied. The list 

`dutchmasters::dutchmasters` contains six named character vectors with color

codes. The names represent the colors and where on the painting the color was

taken.

```{r}

library(dutchmasters)

dutchmasters$anatomy

```

## Examples

```{r}

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(diamonds, aes(color, fill = clarity)) +

  geom_bar() +

  scale_fill_dutchmasters(palette = "staalmeesters")

```

```{r}

ggplot(mtcars, aes(disp, mpg, col = qsec)) +

  geom_point(size = 4) +

  scale_color_dutchmasters(discrete = FALSE)

```

The six available palettes are

Vermeer -[*The Milkmaid*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Milkmaid_(Vermeer))

```{r}

ochRe::viz_palette(dutchmasters$milkmaid)

```

Vermeer -[* Girl with a Pearl Earring*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Milkmaid_(Vermeer))

```

```
