Hi Nooshin, Have you tried the RColorBrewer package? After loading the package, the following gives you the whole array of available colour palletes.
> display.brewer.all(n=NULL, type="all", select=NULL, exact.n=TRUE) Then, you can add to your code something like this (I'm using palette "Set3" just as an example): > nooshin.col = brewer.pal(12,"Set3") And: > Nooshin_heatmap <- heatmap(Nooshin_matrix, Rowv=NA, Colv=NA,scale="column", margins=c(5,10), col=nooshin.col) Hope this helps.
