read_aco {swatches}

Read colors from Adobe Color (ACO) files

Description

Given a path or URL to an .aco file, this function will return a named character vector (if color names are present) of hex RGB colors.

read_aco(path, use_names = TRUE, .verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

partial or full file path or URL to an ACO file
