How to change the color of lines and shapes in ggplot2?

Question

I have a data frame like this:

x <- data.frame(time = c('1', '2', '3'), perc = c(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.3, 0.55, 0.69, 0.2, 0.22, 0.35), type=c(rep('a', 3), rep('b', 3), rep('c', 3))) 

and want to make such a graph (below), but using these different colors c('#0023a0', '#f9a635', '#bebec0') :

 ggplot(x, aes(time, perc, group=type, colour=type, shape=type)) + geom_point(size=4) + geom_line(size=1) 

I already tried different ways using scale_colour_hue , scale_shape_discrete and scale_fill_manual , but without any success.

Answer 1

What exactly have you tried? This seems to work for me:

 ggplot(x, aes(time, perc, group = type, pch = type, colour = type)) + geom_point() + geom_line() + scale_colour_manual(values= c('#0023a0', '#f9a635', '#bebec0'))
