pequod: Colour Palette for Reading and Code, Inspired by Moby-Dick

The Pequod colour palette, named after the whaler in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. Provides the full Log base scale from warm paper (Log 50) to deep ink (Log 950), eight crew accent hues with light and dark variants, and 'ggplot2' scales for discrete and continuous mapping. Designed for long-form reading and code, with low saturation and a consistent earth- pigment register. Full design rationale and accessibility notes at <https://tiagojct.eu/projects/pequod/>.
