Hi,
Color of my step plot is now by default. Now I'd like to change the color as
the grey scale I specified. I don't know why I got three black plot. Here I
attach two version of codes. The first one produces a step plot with color
by default. The second one, modified from the first one, is not producing
the grey scale I want. Any help would be highly appreciated.

[version 1- working]
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(qry_r3_AFF0_CumRate_pooled[qry_r3_AFF0_CumRate_pooled$trt_label %in%
c('ace','ctrlAM','met'),]
        , aes(x=AFF0, y=cum_rate_AFF0_pooled, group=trt_label))+
          geom_step(aes(color=trt_label), direction="hv", size=5.0)+
          scale_y_continuous("Rates of initiating first orientation flight",
limits=c(0,0.6), expand=c(0,0), breaks=c(0,0.2,0.4,0.6)) +
          scale_x_continuous("Age of adults (days)", limits=c(0,16),
expand=c(0,0), breaks=c(5, 10, 15)) +
          scale_colour_discrete(name  ="Group",
                                breaks=c("ace", "ctrlAM","met"),
                                labels=c("acetone",
"untreated","methoprene"))+
                                  theme_bw() +   # maek background theme
black and white
                                  opts(legend.justification=c(1,0),# legend
justification needs to be in the (options)
                                       legend.position=c(1,0),
                                       panel.grid.major = theme_line(size =
0.5, colour = '#FFFFFF'),
                                       panel.grid.minor = theme_line(colour =
NA) # colour = NA to suppress gridlines, reappear if colour='black'
                                 )

[version 2- producing wrong colour]
#try greyScale, didn't work
all <-qry_r3_AFF0_CumRate_pooled
all <- subset(all, trt_label %in% c('ace','ctrlAM','met'))
greyScale <-c("grey15","grey30","grey45")

ggplot(all, aes(x=AFF0, y=cum_rate_AFF0_pooled, group=trt_label))+
       geom_step(direction="hv", size=3.0)+

Here, you got rid of the mapping of colour to trt_label that you had in the first example, so there is no colour to be manually mapped. That is why all three lines were black.

       scale_y_continuous("Rates of initiating first orientation flight",
limits=c(0,0.6), expand=c(0,0), breaks=c(0,0.2,0.4,0.6)) +
       scale_x_continuous("Age of adults (days)", limits=c(0,16),
expand=c(0,0), breaks=c(5, 10, 15)) +
       scale_colour_manual(name="Group",
                           breaks=c('ace', 'ctrlAM','met'),
                           labels=c("acetone", "untreated","methoprene"),
                           values=c("black","grey","red"))

       theme_bw() +   # maek background theme black and white
       theme(legend.justification=c(1,0),# legend justification needs to be
in the (options)
             legend.position=c(1,0),
             panel.grid.major = theme_line(size = 0.5, colour = '#FFFFFF'),
             panel.grid.minor = theme_line(colour = NA) # colour = NA to
suppress gridlines, reappear if colour='black'
             )
