Installation
gguniversity can be installed through GitHub
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("dougaltoms/gguniversity")
A corresponding colour palette with n number of colours can be
generated for your ggplot2 visualisations, using the
<university>_palette() function:
library(gguniversity)
library(scales)
exe_pal <- gguniversity::exeter_palette(16)
scales::show_col(exe_pal, ncol = 4, border=NA)

Examples
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(iris, aes(x = Petal.Length, fill = Species)) +
geom_density(alpha = 0.8)+
scale_fill_manual(values=gguniversity::exeter_palette(3))+
labs(title="Petal length for three species of Iris", subtitle = "University of Exeter")+
gguniversity::theme_exeter()
