Create a palette with brand colors

Convenience function specifically for creating palettes that incorporate brand or corporate colors. This is a common use case where specific colors must be preserved while generating complementary colors.

Usage

brand_palette(brand_colors, n_total, cvd_safe = TRUE)

Arguments

brand_colors

Character vector of hex colors representing your brand colors. These will be preserved exactly in the output.

n_total

Total number of colors needed in the final palette. Must be at least as large as the number of brand colors.

cvd_safe

Logical. If TRUE (default), the optimizer maximizes the worst-case perceptual distance across color vision deficiency simulations (deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia). If FALSE, it optimizes for normal vision only.

Value

A huerd_palette object containing the brand colors plus optimized complementary colors.
