MLB colors

Returns a named character vector of hex colors for an MLB team. Teams cover the 2026 Major League Baseball season. Call colorr.teams("mlb") for the full list of team names.

Usage

mlb.colors(
  set = c("angels", "astros", "athletics", "blue_jays", "braves", "brewers", "cardinals",
    "cubs", "diamondbacks", "dodgers", "giants", "guardians", "indians", "mariners",
    "marlins", "mets", "nationals", "orioles", "padres", "phillies", "pirates",
    "rangers", "rays", "red_sox", "reds", "rockies", "royals", "tigers", "twins",
    "white_sox", "yankees"),
  legacy = FALSE
)

Arguments

set

Character string naming an MLB team. The retired team name "indians" still resolves, to the renamed franchise.

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_mlb for the ggplot2 scales.
