metallicaRt
What?
On a whim, this is a collection of colour palettes based on Metallica album covers.
Each is named using an abbreviation of the relevant album.
Why?
Because I saw this post on Twitter
But still, …why?
Because I’d already created a bunch of palettes manually for this post on my blog
How?
I produced the palettes with 7 colours using an online tool, when I produced my blog post originally. I also put together the ‘combo’ palette.
Palettes that end with ‘10’ were created using colorfindr

Thanks to Kelly Cotton for the nycpalettes package which this was extremely heavily based on
I need this in my life
Of course you do. This will not go to CRAN, so please install using the remotes package.

These mini palettes might actually be useful.
All named after a song title from the relevant album
metalli_palette("whiplash")

OK then.
These contain more album specific colors, but might be of less practical use for data visualisation purposes.
