R help - Mar 2012 - What are the color's name in heat.color(5)

Hi all,

I'm trying to using heat.color function in my data visualization. So, when
I set col = heat.color(5), five different colors are displayed from red to
weak yellow.

But, now I want to know the color's keys or the names of the displayed
heat.color. For instance, I think one of the five displayed colors seems to
be 'red'. But, I'm not sure whether it is, also I don't know the
color
names for the others.

How can I know the exact colors name for that like 'red',
'darkyellow' and
so on?

Thanks.

They have hex RGB values instead of names:

R> heat.colors(5)
[1] "#FF0000FF" "#FF5500FF" "#FFAA00FF"
"#FFFF00FF" "#FFFF80FF"
