No 43, University of Bern Social Sciences Working Papers from University of Bern, Department of Social Sciences

Abstract: This paper is an update to Jann (2018). It contains a comprehensive discussion of the -colorpalette- command, including various changes and additions that have been made to the software since its first publication. Command -colorpalette- provides colors for use in Stata graphics. In addition to Stata's default colors, -colorpalette- supports a variety of named colors, a selection of palettes that have been proposed by users, numerous collections of palettes and colormaps from sources such as ColorBrewer, Carto, D3.js, or Matplotlib, as well as color generators in different color spaces. The command also provides features such as color interpolation or color vision deficiency simulation.
