I started down the color path with yesterday’s post Palette of Colors from Image %>% ggplot2 %>% rCharts + dimple.js. Although R has lots of tools, such as RColorBrewer and the mentioned rPlotter, javascript does too with Gregor Aisch's chroma.js and this translated-from-Perl color-scheme-js.
I figured I should explore these javscript color tools but not in the easy way. Rather, I thought I should make it a little more challenging by forcing myself to build the site all in R using Shiny Tags based on an idea proposed by Ramnath Vaidyanathan in this rChartsDygraphs issue. While I was at it, I thought I should keep plugging away with magrittr by playing with the new %$%.
I’m sure the result would amuse professional web developers and color pickers and probably even diehard R coders, but at least there was a result.
