Abstract

In this article, I introduce the colorpalette command, which provides many color palettes and color generators for use in Stata graphics. It supports color palettes from official Stata’s graph schemes, a selection of palettes that have been proposed by users, standard collections such as the ColorBrewer or D3.js palettes, and HSV and HCL color generators. As a by-product, I also introduce commands for marker-symbol and line-pattern palettes.
