geom_label have different color border from text color

[kylebutts]

I am wondering if it is possible to have separate control of the border of the label box and the text color. For example, I want a light border but darker text. I would envision the argument being label.color to match label.size?

You're in luck, this is already in the dev version! Feel free to take it for a spin

ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, disp)) +
  geom_label(
    aes(label = rownames(mtcars)), 
    text.colour   = "red",
    border.colour = "grey50"
  )
