R Colors Brewer Get HEX

I am wondering, how is it possible to get the HEX # for brewer color palettes?

Solution 
  • # Extract the hexadecimal color values for a particular palette from
# the RColorBrewer package, as used by ggplot's scales package. 

library("RColorBrewer")

brewer.pal(12, "Paired")

# [1] "#A6CEE3" "#1F78B4" "#B2DF8A" "#33A02C" "#FB9A99" "#E31A1C"
# [7] "#FDBF6F" "#FF7F00" "#CAB2D6" "#6A3D9A" "#FFFF99" "#B15928"

# to display that palette:
display.brewer.pal(12, "Paired")
