-* Updated colours: `#357BA2` or `mako[9](5)` where no col aesthetic, `guardian` where discrete and 4 or less colours, scales:hue_pal for 5 or more colours, `viridis::mako` reversed for continuous, and `"grey"` for NA.

 * Breaking: removed all `pal_*` functions.
 * Removed some unnecessary messages.
 * Fixed bug where `col_breaks` was not working for a numeric `col`.

 ### 8. Add auto-contrast text on polygons
 
-Text labels can be coloured based on the lightness/darkness of underlying polygons using a trick documented by [@teunbrand](https://github.com/teunbrand/ggplot_tricks). It requires `geom_text` to include the `show.legend = FALSE` argument. When using this method to make a flipped plot, use `coord_flip`.

 3. In some situations, `gg_blank` may be required.
 
-4. If users are building a horizontal plot that includes multiple geoms, it is recommended that users build the plot vertically with ggblanket - and then  use `ggplot2::coord_flip` to make it horizontally.  
-
 Users need to ensure that the scales built by their `gg_*` function are appropriate for subsequent layers. Plot scales are built by the `gg_*` function based on the `data`, `x`, `y`, `*_limits`, `*_include`, `stat`, `position` and `coord` arguments in the `gg_*`  function.
