FUNCTION NAME AND SPECIFICATION

[colVec] = MJN_Colours

PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION: (1) Calling the function returns a structure containing various lists of nice colours for use in plotting

INPUTS: None required

OUTPUTS:

      colVec                      Structure containing 3 arrays
      
            .col                    Array of HEX codes drawn from citation as noted
        
            .sol8                   Array of HEX codes for 8 core colours from 'solarized'
          
            .solMono                Array of HEX codes for 8 core monos from 'solarized'

GENERAL USAGE NOTES:

NOTE 1: Simply call the function and specify an output variable to dump the structure of colours HEX codes into it

      For example:
                      colours = MJN_Colours;

      and access a colour from a given list of colours via:
                      colours.sol8{1}
                      colours.solMono{7}
      etc
      
      Full usage example:
                      colours = MJN_Colours;
                      plot(rand(10,1),'Color',colours.sol8{3})

CHANGES TO ADD AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE: No further changes likely
