Theme Proof: Homage + Teal

What this page proves

This is a full page in the Homage direction (warm cream ground, Newsreader serif body, light code) with the teal family. The accents — links, the nested-square marker, the code rule, and the plot palette — all shift to teal while the warm ground and serif type stay put. Compare it against vignette("getting-started") (homage + red) to see the family swap in isolation.

TIP: A direction and a family are independent. Keep the direction for mood, change the family for accent character.

Code on a light ground

albersdown::albers_palette("teal")
#>      A900      A700      A500      A300 
#> "#0D4A4A" "#0F5E5E" "#127373" "#2F8C8C"

Inline tokens like theme_albers() and scale_color_albers() stay legible against the warm surface.

knitr::kable(
  head(mtcars[, c("mpg", "wt", "hp", "cyl")]),
