Description: Provides color palettes that approximate the University of
Notre Dame brand colors, together with 'ggplot2' discrete color
and fill scales. The default palette leads with six Notre Dame
brand colors that read clearly on a white background and
extends through seven former Notre Dame brand colors,
interpolating when more colors are needed than the brand
supplies. The palette is intended for statistical visualization
and psychometric analysis: the white-safe ordering keeps
plotted categories legible, and the near-white-to-navy ramps
suit continuous quantities such as correlations and factor
loadings. A colorblind-friendly ordering of the Notre Dame
colors themselves (arranged so the colors stay distinguishable
under simulated deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia), the
former colors as a standalone palette, the four near-white
brand tints (plus six informal soft backgrounds) for
backgrounds and sequential ramps, a reference table of every
color with brand and role labels, and a palette-preview helper
are also provided. A matching R Markdown stylesheet, built from
the same colors so a report and its figures share one brand
palette, themes HTML and 'shiny' output. The colors approximate
those described in the University's branding guidelines
(). This
