A tangent to the current tangent: https://github.com/randyzwitch/NoveltyColors.jl now on METADATA. Would love any feedback or contributions. On Monday, November 30, 2015 at 6:42:38 PM UTC-5, Jeffrey Sarnoff wrote: > > How about using dictionaries -- xkcd[:skyblue] = 0x06c2ac? This would > open

Cool. Suggestion: How about calling it "Palettes.jl"? Seems to be available. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 9:17:04 AM UTC+8, Randy Zwitch wrote: > > A tangent to the current tangent: > > https://github.com/randyzwitch/NoveltyColors.jl now on METADATA. Would > love any feedback or

How about using dictionaries -- xkcd[:skyblue] = 0x06c2ac? This would open up the way for source specific named colors (e.g. paints). On Monday, November 30, 2015 at 5:38:10 PM UTC-5, Alex Mellnik wrote: > > On a related note, I've been thinking that it would be nice to include the > results

On a related note, I've been thinking that it would be nice to include the results of the xkcd color survey in Colors.jl. Right now it has the CSS/SVG and X11 colors which is great for standardization, but sometimes you want to be able to get a RGB value

Nice idea. I confess I'm slightly not too keen on the word "Novelty" - reminds me of cheap Christmas presents... :) You could consider making the package a bit more general... For my purposes I've been using a small bit of code that extracts a selection of colors from images to make a

Novelty, as in non-rigorous. These color schemes may or may not be aesthetically pleasing, without any provided research to their "correctness" for journal printing, colorblind compatible, or any of the other features that Colors.jl currently provides. On Wednesday, November 25, 2015 at

NoveltyColors.jl it is. Figured I can make whatever mess I want, we can always merge to Colors.jl later if the palettes are popular enough. On Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 5:08:35 PM UTC-5, Randy Zwitch wrote: > > Since the Julia ecosystem is getting bigger, I figured I'd propose this > here

As an end user that would love this, I would prefer a single package. Put all them tasty, wacky colors in one place! On Tuesday, 24 November 2015 14:08:35 UTC-8, Randy Zwitch wrote: > > Since the Julia ecosystem is getting bigger, I figured I'd propose this > here first and see what people

Re: [julia-users] Re: Proposal: NoveltyColors.jl

Single package preferred, and if possible it would be great to be fully compatible with Colors.jl. It might be ideal if it was part of Colors.jl, but loaded on demand, perhaps by calling: function i_am_feeling_wacky_today() @eval include("wacky.jl") end or some similar trickery... On Tue,
