# Create a palette function
pal <- tscv_pal("main")

# Generate five colors
pal(5)
#> [1] "#4682B4" "#96905A" "#E69F00" "#739E39" "#009E73"

# Reverse the palette
tscv_pal("hot", reverse = TRUE)(5)
#> [1] "#F0E442" "#E2A121" "#D55E00" "#DD7E00" "#E69F00"

# Use generated colors in base R

  height = c(3, 5, 4),
  col = tscv_pal("main")(3)
