A tibble including the color map of 33 gradient palettes. All the palettes includes also a definition of colors limits in terms of elevation (meters), that can be used with ggplot2::scale_fill_gradientn().

Format

A tibble of 1102 rows and 6 columns. with the following fields:

  • pal: Name of the palette.

  • limit: Recommended elevation limit (in meters) for each color.

  • r,g,b: Value of the red, green and blue channel (RGB color mode).

  • hex: Hex code of the color.
