There are plenty of nice color scales that can also function as color schemes. I just lacked an easy to use list of them to copy discrete hex values.
There is the overview of Vega color schemes that features all the discrete and continuous schemes. It also supports to display continuous scales as discrete ones. It even has the hex codes as tooltips, but they cannot easily be copied.
Matplotlib has a similar overview, but it doesn’t show discrete values or hex codes.
So I’ve just set out to create my own overview. Here you can click on any of the boxes and have the hex value in the clipboard!
