Tableau diverging colour scales (continuous)

Continuous color scales using the diverging color scales in Tableau. See scale_colour_tableau for Tabaleau discrete color scales, and scale_colour_gradient_tableau for sequential color scales.

scale_colour_gradient2_tableau(
  palette = "Orange-Blue Diverging",
  ...,
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar"
)

scale_fill_gradient2_tableau(
  palette = "Orange-Blue Diverging",
  ...,
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar"
)

scale_color_gradient2_tableau(
  palette = "Orange-Blue Diverging",
  ...,
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar"
)

df <- data.frame(
  x = runif(100),
  y = runif(100),
  z1 = rnorm(100),
  z2 = abs(rnorm(100))
)
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_point(aes(colour = z2))

palettes <-
  ggthemes_data[["tableau"]][["color-palettes"]][["ordered-diverging"]]
for (palette in head(names(palettes))) {
  print(p + scale_colour_gradient2_tableau(palette) +
        ggtitle(palette))

# If you need to reverse a palette, use a transformation
p + scale_colour_gradient2_tableau(trans = "reverse")
