How about defining your dataset differently, making the colouring property a
variable?
xxx <- data.frame(x=rep(x, 4), y=c(y2, y3), grp=factor(rep(c("a","b"),each=20,
times=2)), type=factor(rep(c("clyde", "irving"), each=40)))
ggplot(xxx, aes(x,y, colour=type, shape=type)) + geom_point() +
geom_abline(intercept=3, slope=2) + facet_wrap(vars(grp)) +
scale_colour_manual(values=c("blue", "red")) +
scale_shape_manual(values=c(20,3))
Then you could also plot the four groups separately if you wanted to:
ggplot(xxx, aes(x,y, colour=type, shape=type)) + geom_point() +
geom_abline(intercept=3, slope=2) + facet_grid(rows=vars(type), cols=vars(grp))
+ scale_colour_manual(values=c("blue", "red")) +
scale_shape_manual(values=c(20,3))
