About

Maintained by Ken KelleyFirst published 2026-06-181 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides color palettes that approximate the University of Notre Dame brand colors, together with 'ggplot2' discrete color and fill scales. The default palette leads with six Notre Dame brand colors that read clearly on a white background and extends through seven former Notre Dame brand colors, interpolating when more colors are needed than the brand supplies. The palette is intended for statistical visualization and psychometric analysis: the white-safe ordering keeps plotted categories legible, and the near-white-to-navy ramps suit continuous quantities such as correlations and factor loadings. A colorblind-friendly ordering of the Notre Dame colors themselves (arranged so the colors stay distinguishable under simulated deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia), the former colors as a standalone palette, the four near-white brand tints (plus six informal soft backgrounds) for backgrounds and sequential ramps, a reference table of every color with brand and role labels, and a palette-preview helper are also provided. A matching R Markdown stylesheet, built from the same colors so a report and its figures share one brand palette, themes HTML and 'shiny' output. The colors approximate those described in the University's branding guidelines (https://onmessage.nd.edu/university-branding/colors/). This is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Notre Dame.
