Description
I might be missing an obvious workaround, but I've encountered a few situations where I'd like an easy way to reverse the colour palette. For example, the colours of the "temps" HCL palette are running in the "wrong" direction here:
library(tinyplot)
plt(Month ~ Temp, airquality, type = type_ridge(gradient = "temps"))

Research direction
Start by reproducing the supplied airquality example with tinyplot, plt(), and type_ridge(gradient = "temps"), then trace how the gradient palette is selected. Done means users have an easy way to reverse the palette direction and the example produces the intended colour ordering.
