Crayola Colors in R 

  Kottke observes  that the whole list of Crayola colors and their hex codes is on  Wikipedia , which got me thinking that it might be useful to have some colors to spruce up R graphics. So, I went ahead and created a convenient  crayola vector  to access all 133 standard Crayola colors. Here are all the colors in R: 

     

 And here is a simple example of how to use it: 

 
    hist(rnorm(1000), col = crayola["Granny Smith Apple"], border = "white", yaxt = "n")  
 

     

 Always remember, folks, playing with colors is a dangerous game. Use discretion.
