R help - May 2007 - RColorBrewer Package Color index

Hi everyone, 

Can anyone kindly help me with the interpretation of colors in the 
RColorBrewer Package (brewer.pal) ? 

For example, in brewer.pal command, when picking up the "RdBu"
palette,
does red means larger or smaller value?

I am new to this fantastic program, and I have searched up and down, no 
clue :(  I will really appreciate your time if you can kindly give me a 
hand.  

Thank you so much for your attention! 

Best, 
Katy

Conventionally, the redder colors feel warmer, so they are associated with
higher (temperature) values. Try the original page http://colorbrewer.org where
you can experiment with the color sets and receive recommendations on their use.
