[R] Reg: Help in assigning colors to factor variable in ggplot2

Your problem is that the color "#4DAF4A8" is not a valid color. It should
have only 6 hex digits.
e.g. "#4DAF4A" will work.

Also you seem to be confused about ggplot. You are not using ggplot in your
code at all.
You are using base graphics. You can remove the 3 library calls.

HTH,
Eric
