Highcharts color palette (discrete)

Highcharts uses many different color palettes in its plots. This collects the palettes shipped with Highcharts 13, plus the default Highcharts used before v11.

Usage

hc_pal(palette = "default")

Arguments

palette

A string, the name of the Highcharts palette to use. One of "default", "default_dark", "classic", "darkunica", "grid_light", "sand_signika", "high_contrast_light", "high_contrast_dark", "avocado", "sunset".

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().

Details

"default" and "default_dark" are the light- and dark-mode forms of the palette Highcharts has used by default since v11.0.0; they differ only in positions 2 and 3. "classic" is the default Highcharts used from v5.0.0 through v10.x. The remaining palettes come from the themes bundled with Highcharts.

Note that "avocado" and "sunset" have only four colors.
