They have hex RGB values instead of names:

[1] "#FF0000FF" "#FF5500FF" "#FFAA00FF" "#FFFF00FF" "#FFFF80FF"

The first one is the same as 'red' as can be seen by parsing the RGB values above:

> col2rgb("red")
      [,1]
red    255
green    0
blue     0

HC.m < matrix( c( strtoi( substr(heat.colors(5), 2,3), 16L), strtoi(substr(heat.colors(5), 4,5), 16L), strtoi(substr(heat.colors(5), 6,7), 16L) ), nrow=3, byrow=TRUE)
HC.m
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]  255  255  255  255  255
[2,]    0   85  170  255  255
[3,]    0    0    0    0  128

One of the others 'yellow' is also in named colors:

> which( apply(col2rgb(colors()) , 2 , function(x) all( x == c(HC.m[, 2]))) )
integer(0)
> which( apply(col2rgb(colors()) , 2 , function(x) all( x == c(HC.m[, 3]))) )
integer(0)
> which( apply(col2rgb(colors()) , 2 , function(x) all( x == c(HC.m[, 1]))) )
[1] 552 553
> which( apply(col2rgb(colors()) , 2 , function(x) all( x == c(HC.m[, 4]))) )
[1] 652 653
> which( apply(col2rgb(colors()) , 2 , function(x) all( x == c(HC.m[, 5]))) )
integer(0)

> colors()[552: 553]
[1] "red"  "red1"

> colors()[652:653]
[1] "yellow"  "yellow1"

Hi all,

I'm trying to using heat.color function in my data visualization. So, when I set col = heat.color(5), five different colors are displayed from red to
weak yellow.

But, now I want to know the color's keys or the names of the displayed heat.color. For instance, I think one of the five displayed colors seems to be 'red'. But, I'm not sure whether it is, also I don't know the color
names for the others.

How can I know the exact colors name for that like 'red', 'darkyellow' and
so on?

Thanks.

YN
