This is an R Markdown document that describes Reason graphics style in R. It should help unify visualization using gggplo() Packages: pensionviewr, reasonTheme & ggplot2

# All images should use web safe colors — this gives us a range of orange and blue
# colors that fit with Reason’s branding, as well as reds and greens that we can use to
# indicate positive or negative data patterns. The following colors are most suitable:

palette_reason <- data.frame(
  Orange = "#FF6633", 
  DarkGrey = "#333333", 
  SpaceGrey = "#A69FA1",
  DarkBlue = "#1696d2",
  GreyBlue = "#6699CC", 
  Yellow = "#FFCC33", 
  LightBlue = "#3399CC", 
  SatBlue = "#3366CC", 
  Green = "#669900", 
  Red = "#CC0000")
  
##Convert color code to RedGreenBlue palette (with rgb())
#rgb1 <- col2rgb(colors$SatBlue, alpha = FALSE)/255
#rownames(rgb1) <- c("red", "green", "blue")
#ColorName <- rgb(rgb1[1],rgb1[2],rgb1[3])
