try adding `+ theme_bw()` it's much nicer than the nasty grey. For more builtin themes just go into your editor, write `theme` and get it to autocomplete — Rorschach, Nov 06 '15 at 06:32

To change the panel's background color, use the following code:

myplot + theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = 'green', colour = 'red'))

To change the color of the plot (but not the color of the panel), you can do:

myplot + theme(plot.background = element_rect(fill = 'green', colour = 'red'))
