    library(ggplot2)
    df2 <- data.frame(supp=rep(c("VC", "OJ"), each=3),
                    dose=rep(c("D0.5", "D1", "D2"),2),
                    len=c(6.8, 15, 33, 4.2, 10, 29.5))
    head(df2)
    ggplot(data=df2, aes(x=dose, y=len, fill=supp)) +
      geom_bar(stat="identity")

    I have a simple stacked barplot, and I would like to change the colors manually. More specifically, I would like to flip the colors used for fill = supp (i.e. teal for OJ instead). I've trid adding a color = ... parameter into geom_bar but that simply outlines the barplots instead of coloring them in.

    I have multiple stacks and I want to change colors too but not manually. Is it possible?
