Tint or shade an RLadies+ brand colour — rladies

Mix a brand colour with lavender (tint) or charcoal (shade), following the RLadies+ brand guidelines. This is the same approach used in the brand SCSS — all tints mix towards lavender white, all shades mix towards Bastille Black.

Usage

rladies_mix(colour, amount = 0.5, mode = c("tint", "shade"))

Arguments

colour: A colour name from the brand palette (e.g. "purple", "blue", "rose") or any hex colour string.
amount: Numeric between 0 and 1. The proportion of the original colour to keep. amount = 0.75 gives a 75% tint (mostly colour, lightly mixed with lavender/charcoal).
mode: Either "tint" (mix towards lavender) or "shade" (mix towards charcoal).

Value

A hex colour string.
