EPL colors

Returns a named character vector of hex colors for an EPL team. Teams cover the 2026-27 Premier League season, plus every club that appeared in colorr 1.0.1. Call colorr.teams("epl") for the full list of team names.

Usage

epl.colors(
  set = c("arsenal", "aston_villa", "bournemouth", "brentford", "brighton", "burnley",
    "chelsea", "coventry_city", "crystal_palace", "everton", "fulham", "hull",
    "ipswich_town", "leeds_united", "leicester", "liverpool", "man_city", "man_united",
    "middlesbrough", "newcastle", "nottingham_forest", "southampton", "stoke_city",
    "sunderland", "swansea_city", "tottenham", "watford", "west_bromich_albion",
    "west_ham"),
  legacy = FALSE
)

Arguments

set

Character string naming an EPL team.

legacy

Logical. If TRUE, return the palette that shipped with colorr 1.0.1 instead of the current one, so older figures stay reproducible. Not every team has a legacy palette; teams added since 1.0.1 will throw an error.

Value

Named character vector of hex color strings.

See also

colorr.teams to list teams, scale_fill_epl for the ggplot2 scales.
