You can get the colour transition using the colorRamp or
colorRampPalette functions. For example, to get 12 colours from red
through yellow to green, use
colorRampPalette(c("red", "yellow", "green"), space="Lab")(12)
This will put yellow in the middle of the range. If the mean isn't in
the middle, you'll need something a little more complicated involving
colorRamp. It returns a function mapping the numbers 0 to 1 into the
colours you specify; you'll need to write your own function that maps
(min, mean, max) to (0, 0.5, 1) in some way.
