title: 'charisma: Reproducible Color Characterization of Digital Images for Biological
  Studies'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.charisma
abstract: Provides a standardized and reproducible framework for characterizing and
  classifying discrete color classes from digital images of biological organisms.
  The package automatically determines the presence or absence of 10 human-visible
  color categories (black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, purple, red, white, yellow)
  using a biologically-inspired Color Look-Up Table (CLUT) that partitions HSV color
  space. Supports both fully automated and semi-automated (interactive) workflows
  with complete provenance tracking for reproducibility. Pre-processes images using
  the 'recolorize' package (Weller et al. 2024 <https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.14378>)
  for spatial-color binning, and integrates with 'pavo' (Maia et al. 2019 <https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13174>)
  for color pattern geometry statistics. Designed for high-throughput analysis and
  seamless integration with downstream evolutionary analyses.
