Introduction

Crameri (2018) offers carefully chosen schemes, ready for mapping data, with colours that are:

• Perceptually uniform,
• Perceptually ordered,
• Colour vision deficiency friendly,
• Readable as black and white print,
• Citable & reproducible.

All the scales presented in Crameri (2021) are implemented here, for use with base R graphics or ggplot2.
