A ggplot2 color palette based on Taylor Swift Album Covers.

The package includes palettes for every full album except for those that Taylor Swift has disavowed.

You can install the released version of tayloRswift with:

remotes::install_github("asteves/tayloRswift")

and load it with

library(tayloRswift)

Color by discrete variable using default palette based on 1989

ggplot(penguins, aes(bill_depth_mm, bill_length_mm, color = species)) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  scale_color_taylor()+
  theme_minimal()

Reputation works great as a grayscale.

ggplot(penguins, aes(bill_depth_mm, bill_length_mm, color = species)) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  scale_color_taylor(palette = "reputation")+
  theme_minimal()

Be content with a palette based on Fearless

ggplot(penguins , aes(bill_depth_mm, bill_length_mm,color = bill_length_mm)) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  scale_color_taylor(discrete = FALSE, palette ="fearless")+
  theme_minimal()

Pop with color from Lover

ggplot(mpg, aes(manufacturer, fill = manufacturer)) +
  geom_bar() +
  theme_minimal()+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1)) +
  scale_fill_taylor(palette = "lover", guide = "none")

Or if you prefer modern Swift, Folklore

ggplot(penguins, aes(species, fill = species)) +
  geom_bar() +
  theme_minimal()+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1)) +
  scale_fill_taylor(palette = "folklore", guide = "none")

For those who work in Python, it was brought to my attention that there is a very cool package by Josh Borrow called swiftacsmaps.

Other inspirations for this package are the tutorial on creating corporate color palettes by Dr. Simon Jackson, which I drew on heavily. I have long used the wesanderson package by Karthik Ram, which does a similar task.
