[R] RColorBrewer

[John Kane]

This is perilously close to a straightforward homework question which is not usually answwered here but you get brownie points for saying you are a student.  

Also you did not follow the posting guidelines so we have no idea what are doing, what package(s) you may be using etc.  Have a look at  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example for some idea of how to ask the question.

That said, just try googling for something like "RColorBrewer create personal palate" and see where it leads.

The first one I found was:
http://wiki.stdout.org/rcookbook/Graphs/Colors%20%28ggplot2%29/  whhich may be of use if you are using ggplot2, or perhaps even if you are not.
