[R] Plot NUTS regions with color

[Phillips Rogfield]

Dear R-help ML,

I have downloaded the NUTS shapefiles from here: 
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/nuts

I can load them with the following code:

    library(rgdal)
    shp_bdir <- [PATH TO SHAPE FILE]
    layername <- "NUTS_RG_01M_2021_4326"
    shp_folder <- file.path(shp_bdir, paste0(layername,".shp"))
    EU_NUTS <- readOGR(dsn = shp_folder, layer = layername)

Then I can plot the regions with:

    plot(EU_NUTS)

Now I have a list of NUTS - 3 Level, for example:

    l <- c("AT223", "AT212", "AT212", "AT121")

I would like a plot where the NUTS regions are colored, and the more a 
particular NUTS is present is the list, the darker its color.

For example "AT212" should be darker than "AT223", because the former is 
present two times in the list.

How can I achieve that?

Thank you and best regards.
