simplecolors: A package for accessing color names using a standardized nomenclature

Description

The simplecolors package provides two categories of functions: color names and color palettes

Color names

The sc() function is the main way to access color names. Colors can be called by including them as comma separated string values. For example: sc("brightblue4", "mutedred2")

Color palettes

There are several functions that are prefixed with "sc_". These generate palettes of colors and can return hex codes (default), a table, or a plot showing the colors selected.
