[R] Current R color chart

[Marc Schwartz]

Hi Rich,

You don't show the actual code that you used, and I do not use ggplot, 
but if you want to use RGB hex codes to define a color, you need to use 
'#' as a prefix for the 6 character RGB code:

For example:

 > plot(1:10, col = "FF3030")
Error in plot.xy(xy, type, ...) : invalid color name 'FF3030'

versus:

plot(1:10, col = "#FF3030")

the latter which includes the '#' and works to generate the plot.

Otherwise, as Avi apparently replied separately, use colors() or 
colours() to see the actual color text names and ?colors for more help.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
