NamedColors-to-HEX.R
# cols is a vector of named colors
# First we convert the named colors to rgb, and store the values in a list
rgbVals<-lapply(cols,col2rgb)
# Then convert the list to a data frame and flip it
rgbVals<-t(as.data.frame(rgbVals,col.names = seq(1,length(rgbVals),by=1)))
# Then we convert the rgb values to HEX
hexVal<-sapply(1:length(rgbVal[,1]),function(x){ rgb(rgbVal[x,"red"],rgbVal[x,"green"],rgbVal[x,"blue"],maxColorValue = 255) })
