You can access either the name, RGB, CMYK, hex code, and/or Pantone values of each Oxford colour through the get_oxford_colours() function as follows:

## Get hex code for Oxford blue
get_oxford_colours(pattern = "Oxford blue")
#> [1] "#002147"

## Get hex code for all colours with "blue" in their name (show name in output)
get_oxford_colours(pattern = "blue", named = TRUE)
#>          Oxford blue      Oxford sky blue    Oxford royal blue 
#>            "#002147"            "#B9D6F2"            "#1D42A6" 
#> Oxford cerulean blue 
#>            "#49B6FF"

The get_oxford_colours() function can thus be used to create your own bespoke combination of colours from the Oxford colours palette and create your own theme (see next section for University of Oxford officially recommended themes using the Oxford colours).
