R - Starting at a palette color different from the 1st

I am plotting points using the code:

with(data, point(x = Longitude, y = Latitude, pch = 21, bg = Fatal, col = cluster)

Where Fatal is a factor with 2 levels (Y, N) and cluster is a factor of 3 levels (1, 2, 3).

I have defined a color palette of 5 colors:

palette(c(rgb(255, 165, 0, alpha = 120, max = 255),
          rgb(211, 211, 211, alpha = 120, max = 255),
          rgb(255, 0, 0, alpha = 120, max = 255),
          rgb(0, 0, 0, alpha = 255, max = 255),
          rgb(255, 255, 255, alpha = 255, max = 255)))

I want to create the points such that the background color will use the first 2 colors in the palette and the border will use the last 3 colors in the palette.

Is there any way to either:

1) create 2 different color palettes to use in a points() command?

2) tell R to use the last 3 colors in the palette for col = cluster?

Thanks!

how do you plan to assign 3 colors to 2 levels? – Nate Dec 01 '16 at 22:24
I meant to say that `cluster` was a factor with 3 levels. It's corrected now. – waealu Dec 02 '16 at 00:54
maybe separate the big palette and just make two smaller palettes, one for`fill` and `color` with your desired orders. – Nate Dec 02 '16 at 02:32
