Use mn_color("blue") to get a MN brand color’s HEX code. You can use
the color names in any of the mntheme functions and they will convert
the names to the HEX code for you.
Example:
plot + theme_mn_dark(text_color = "teal")| COLOR_NAME | HEX_CODE | COLOR |
|---|---|---|
| mn blue | #003865 |  |
| blue | #003865 |  |
| mn green | #78BE21 |  |
| green | #78BE21 |  |
| white | #FFFFFF |  |
| offwhite | #F0F0F0 |  |
| off white | #F0F0F0 |  |
| black | #000000 |  |
| accent teal | #008EAA |  |
| teal | #008EAA |  |
| accent green | #0D5257 |  |
| accent orange | #8D3F2B |  |
| accent purple | #5D295F |  |
| accent blue gray | #A4BCC2 |  |
| blue gray | #A4BCC2 |  |
| accent cream | #F5E1A4 |  |
| cream | #F5E1A4 |  |
| accent sky blue | #9BCBEB |  |
| sky blue | #9BCBEB |  |
| accent gold | #FFC845 |  |
| gold | #FFC845 |  |
| dark gray | #53565A |  |
| gray | #53565A |  |
| medium gray | #97999B |  |
| light gray | #D9D9D6 |  |
| red | #A6192E |  |
| orange | #E57200 |  |
You can add an organization’s logo to a plot by passing a logo short
name to add_mn_logo().
Example:
plot %>% add_mn_logo("mdh")| NAME | LOGO |
|---|---|
| horizontal |  |
| primary |  |
| primary-inverse |  |
| mdh |  |
| mdh-inverse |  |
| mdh-tall |  |
| mdh-tall-inverse |  |
| mpca |  |
| mpca-inverse |  |
