## Shane,
## This uses your color_list. Your other variables weren't included
in the email
## so I invented some data.
## I recommend bwplot() using panel=panel.bwplot.superpose
## and I also show how to use boxplot()
## install.packages("HH") ## if necessary.
library(HH)
## install.packages("reshape2") ## if necessary.
library(reshape2)
## you didn't include data, so I am making up some data
pH <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(200), 10, 20))
bwplot(value ~ variable, data=melt(pH), col=unlist(colors_list),
panel=panel.bwplot.superpose, groups=variable)
boxplot(value ~ variable, data=melt(pH), col=unlist(colors_list))
