Hi Kingsford, Thanks for the reply - some of the sets/palettes in the RColorBrewer are ideal, but the problem with the problem i have is that they only go up to 12 colours, and i need 15 colours - so i assume the only thing i can do is create my own palette, but i'm having limited success in trying to work out how to do this.
