dutchmasters

This package offers six color palettes derived from paintings by the Dutch masters Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt van Rijn. This package is inspired by the ochRe package and functions from this package have been shamelessly copied. The list dutchmasters::dutchmasters contains six named character vectors with color codes. The names represent the colors and where on the painting the color was taken.
