Donation

As a Data Science and Statistics educator, I love to share the work I do. Each month I spend dozens of hours curating learning materials and computational tools like this R package. If you find any value and usefulness in colortools, please consider making a one-time donation---via paypal---in any amount (e.g. the amount you would spend inviting me a coffee or any other drink). Your support really matters.
