Color Names

Description:

     Returns the built-in color names which R knows about.

Usage:

     colors()

Details:

     These color names can be used with a `col=' specification in
     graphics functions.

     An even wider variety of colors can be created with primitives
     `rgb' and `hsv' or the derived `rainbow', `heat.colors', etc.

Value:

     A character vector containing all the built-in color names.

See Also:

     `palette' for setting the ``palette'' of colors for
     `par(col='<num>`)'; `rgb', `hsv', `gray'; `rainbow' for a nice
     example; and `heat.colors', `topo.colors' for images.

     `col2rgb' for translating to RGB numbers and extended examples.

Examples:

     str(colors())
