Struggling with boring black and white plots? Sick of R's default colours? We've got your back! In this meetup, we'll show you how to colour your ggplots beautiful.

We'll cover:
- how to use any custom colour(s) you fancy (and how to find colours that match perfectly)
- commonly used colour palettes like viridis and RColorBrewer, but also lesser-known options that are based on e.g. Wes Anderson films, US National Park posters, or classic rock album covers
- things to consider when creating data visualisations, such as how to make sure your graphs are accessible and don't perpetuate (gender) stereotypes

So join us to play with color in ggplot and never have a bland plot again!
