Economist color palette (discrete)

The classic The Economist chart palette: blues, grays, and greens, chosen and ordered for the number of colors requested. Red is not included in these palettes; The Economist reserves it to mark important data.

Usage

economist_pal(fill = TRUE)

Arguments

fill

If TRUE (the default), use the fill palette; otherwise, use the line palette. The two palettes choose and order the colors differently.

Value

A palette function. It takes the number of colors n and returns a character vector of n hex colors, and can be used as the palette argument of ggplot2::discrete_scale().
