  scale_color_dracula(palette = "dark") +
  labs(
    title = "Sepal Length vs. Sepal Width", 
    subtitle = "...for Various Species of Iris",
    x = "Sepal Width",
    y = "Sepal Length"
  )

Monokai Dark:

ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg, color = factor(cyl), shape = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point(size = 4) +
  theme_monokai_dark() +

Gruvbox Light Horizontal:

ggplot(mpg, aes(cty, hwy)) +

    ) +
    geom_count(color = gruvbox$light("red"), show.legend = FALSE) +
