unibeCols

unibeCols contains the corporate design colours of the University of Bern, as defined in the “Gestaltungselemente” manual.

Installation

unibeCols can be installed from github via

remotes::install_github("CTU-Bern/unibeCols")

or from CTU Bern’s universe via

install.packages("unibeCols", repos = "https://ctu-bern.r-universe.dev")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(unibeCols)

All colours can be viewed via

unibePalettes()

There are then a set of functions for the darkest colours (e.g. unibeRed, unibeGreen) and a set of functions for the scale as defined by the names in the plot above (e.g. unibeRedS, unibeGreenS).

The colours can be used in ggplot2 or base graphics…

library(patchwork)
library(ggplot2)
# par(mai = c(.5, .5, .5. .5))
p1 <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = disp, y = mpg, col = factor(carb))) + 
  geom_point() + 
  scale_color_manual(values = c(unibeOceanS()[c(1,3,5)], unibeApricotS()[c(5,3,1)]))
p1 + ~plot(mpg ~ disp, mtcars, 
           bg = sample(unibePalettes(FALSE)$cols, nrow(mtcars)), 
           col = NA, pch = 21)

… and can also be used to colour text (syntax and result depends on the output format, the following should work for HTML, but not github):

cat(paste0('<p style="color:', unibeRed(), '">This should be red</p>'))

This should be red
