Problem

You want to use colors in a graph with ggplot2.

Colors, like music, symbols, or words, carry meaning with them that varies across the world. And when colors are mixed, it can change up the meaning entirely. Adobe Spark Post’s custom color palette creator is an easy to use tool that provides pre-selected palettes with trusted color combinations fit for any need. The intentional selection of the twelve colors ensures that they are energetically balanced and will create the feeling of the dwelling for which it is named. Using the Color in Space approach means that the twelve colors in the palette may be used as the road map for your entire interior. Don't just think of the swatches as paint!

Solution

The default colors in ggplot2 can be difficult to distinguish from one another because they have equal luminance. They are also not friendly for colorblind viewers.

A good general-purpose solution is to just use the colorblind-friendly palette below.

Sample data

These two data sets will be used to generate the graphs below.

Simple color assignment

The colors of lines and points can be set directly using colour='red', replacing “red” with a color name. The colors of filled objects, like bars, can be set using fill='red'.

If you want to use anything other than very basic colors, it may be easier to use hexadecimal codes for colors, like '#FF6699'. (See the hexadecimal color chart below.)

Mapping variable values to colors

Instead of changing colors globally, you can map variables to colors – in other words, make the color conditional on a variable, by putting it inside an aes() statement.

A colorblind-friendly palette

These are color-blind-friendly palettes, one with gray, and one with black.

To use with ggplot2, it is possible to store the palette in a variable, then use it later.

Color selection

By default, the colors for discrete scales are evenly spaced around a HSL color circle. For example, if there are two colors, then they will be selected from opposite points on the circle; if there are three colors, they will be 120° apart on the color circle; and so on.The colors used for different numbers of levels are shown here:

The default color selection uses scale_fill_hue() and scale_colour_hue(). For example, adding those commands is redundant in these cases:

Setting luminance and saturation (chromaticity)

Although scale_fill_hue() and scale_colour_hue() were redundant above, they can be used when you want to make changes from the default, like changing the luminance or chromaticity.

This is a chart of colors with luminance=45:

Palettes: Color Brewer

You can also use other color scales, such as ones taken from the RColorBrewer package. See the chart of RColorBrewer palettes below. See the scale section here for more information.

Palettes: manually-defined

Finally, you can define your own set of colors with scale_fill_manual(). See the hexadecimal code chart below for help choosing specific colors.

Hexadecimal color code chart

Colors can specified as a hexadecimal RGB triplet, such as '#0066CC'. The first two digits are the level of red, the next two green, and the last two blue. The value for each ranges from 00 to FF in hexadecimal (base-16) notation, which is equivalent to 0 and 255 in base-10. For example, in the table below, “#FFFFFF” is white and “#990000” is a deep red.
