Hidden R gems: package colorfindr

Example of code with colorfindr package in R showing the posibilities

# Install and load the colorfindr package
install.packages("colorfindr")
library(colorfindr)

# Load an image to analyze
img <- load.image("https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1621949014695-c2dd07ff54ed")

# Extract dominant colors from the image
dominant_colors <- extract_colors(img, n = 5)

# Display the dominant colors with their color names
show_colors(dominant_colors)

# Generate a palette of colors that match the dominant colors
matching_palette <- generate_palette(dominant_colors, n = 8)

# Display the matching palette
show_colors(matching_palette)

In this code, we first install and load the colorfindr package. Then we load an image from the web using the load.image() function. We use the extract_colors() function to extract the five dominant colors from the image. We then use show_colors() to display the dominant colors with their color names.

Next, we use the generate_palette() function to generate a palette of eight colors that match the dominant colors. Finally, we use show_colors() to display the matching palette.

The colorfindr package offers many other functions and options for color extraction and matching. This example demonstrates just a few of the possibilities.
