# MetBrewer 
Palettes inspired by works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Pieces selected come from various time periods, regions, and mediums.
Structure of the package was based on coding from the [`PNWColors`](https://github.com/jakelawlor/PNWColors) and [`wesanderson`](https://github.com/karthik/wesanderson) packages. Inspired by the package [`RColorBrewer`](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RColorBrewer/RColorBrewer.pdf) from the work of [Cynthia Brewer](http://colorbrewer2.org).

Python
for palette_name, palette_dict in COLORBLIND_PALETTES.items():
print(palette_name)
[1] Cassatt1, Cassatt2, Derain, Egypt, Greek, Hiroshige, Hokusai2, Hokusai3, Ingres
[2] Isfahan1, Isfahan2, Morgenstern, OKeeffe1, OKeeffe2, Pillement, Troy, VanGogh3, Veronese
