Hi Im producing boxplots based on factors and rearranging them by median (This is for a Geochemistry element). Im giving each boxplot a unique color based on its level (factor) name.
Im trying to produce a look up list to produce these colors as the order of the boxplots will change from element to element. Here is by color lool up and boxplot code: colors_list<-list("Dalradian Appin Group quartzite"="#FFFF00","Sperrins Dalradian (position uncertain)"="#D7D79E", "Namurian sandstone, shale"="#C7D79E","Lr-Mid Ordovocian acid volcanics"="#FFD37F", "Tertiary granite, felsite"="#FF5500","Caledonian appinite suite"="#946379", "Dalradian Argyll Gp quartzite"="#FFFF00","Slishwood Division" ="#FFEDCC", "Dalradian S Highland Gp volcanics"="#00E6A9","LEITRIM GP; Visean mudstone, sandstone"="#E6CCCC", "Dalradian Argyll Group"="#FFD9C7","Metadolerite or amphibolite"="#4C7300", "Caledonian granite"="#FF7F7F","Dalradian Appin Group"="#9EAAD7", "Lr-Mid Ordovician basic volcanics"="#448970","Ordovician Granite"="#E60000", "Tertiary basic intrusion"="#8400A8","Dalradian Argyll Gp volcanics"="#00E6A9", "VISEAN \"\"basal clastics\"\""="#73A6A6","Carboniferous volcs & minor intrus"="#AAFF00", "Metagabbro, metadiorite (Tyrone Plu"="#00A885","TYRONE GP; Visean mudstone, sandstone"="#CC9999", "Late Visean-Westphalian 'ORS'"="#F5A27A","Dalradian S Highland Group"="#FFD9C7", "Mid Devonian ORS"="#FFD37F","Mid-Up Ordovician slate"="#C2753D", "Interbasaltic formation laterite, b"="#FFFF00","Visean shelf limestone, shale"="#FF00C5", "Tertiary rhyolite (volc&intru)"="#FFEABE","COURCEYAN \"\"basal clastics\"\""="#4D8099", "Up Dev-Lr Carb ORS"="#CDAA66","Tyrone CI (Corvanaghan=?Slishwood"="#C9FFC9", "Visean basinal limestone \"\"Calp\"\""="#CFD6EB","Mid-Up Ordovician g'wacke, sndst, shale"="#C29ED7", "Up Silurian - Lr Devonian ORS"="#CD8966","Westphalian shale, sandstone"="#B2B2B2", "Upper Basalt Formation"="#FAC2E0","Causeway Tholeiite Mbr"="#C29ED7", "Courceyan limestone"="#73B2FF","Tertiary minor volcanics"="#E600A9", "Silurian sandstone, g'wacke, shale"="#ADE6D1","Up Cretaceous limestone"="#73FFDF", "Lower Basalt Formation"="#E0A8C7","Ballycastle succession"="#CCB3B3", "Navan Group"="#408CBF","Devonian basic volcs, minor intrus"="#A5F57A", "Up.

Anyone know how to solve this?
