Change the colour of two strips in ggplot2

Question

I have a graph generated by ggplot2 in R. In facet_wrap I have two variables. I want to color them different. I tried to change the color but it changed for both. I want for every strip a color so I want to colors.

 ggplot(trial, aes(x =total , y = power, colour = Levels)) + 
  geom_line()+ facet_wrap(~P1+P2) + geom_point() + theme(legend.position = "right",plot.title = element_text(color="darkblue", size=16, face="bold.italic", hjust = 0.5),axis.title.x = element_text(color="black", size=12, face="bold"),
   axis.title.y = element_text(color="black", size=12, face="bold"), strip.background = element_rect(fill = "blue") ) +
   ggtitle("Plot")

Any idea? Thank you

library(statmod)
trial=expand.grid(n1=c(10,20,30,40,50),n2=c(10,20,30,40,50),
              p1=c(0.1,0.2,0.3,0.5,0.8,0.9),p2=c(0.1,0.2,0.5,0.8,0.9), alpha=0.05)

trial$P1=as.factor(trial$p1)
trial$P2=as.factor(trial$p2)
trial$total = trial$n1 + trial$n2
for(row in 1:nrow(trial)){
  trial$power[row]=power.fisher.test(trial$p1[row], trial$p2[row],
                                     trial$n1[row],trial$n2[row],
                                     alpha=0.05, nsim=100,
                                     alternative="two.sided")}

Total = n1+n2. But does it matter? I want only to have two color on strip. One for `P1` and one for `P2` — Mary Nastase, Jul 22 '20 at 18:30
I am trying to reproduce your graph so I could attempt to answer the question. — Matt, Jul 22 '20 at 18:32
I didn't want to suggest it is not reasonable. Sorry. @Matt, if you try to reproduce, then this is how I calculated `power`: `for(row in 1:nrow(trial)){ trial$power[row]= power.fisher.test(trial$p1[row], trial$p2[row], trial$n1[row], trial$n2[row], alpha=0.05, nsim=100, alternative="two.sided") } ` — Mary Nastase, Jul 22 '20 at 18:37

Suppose you've saved your plot in an object called plot.

library(statmod)
library(ggplot)
 plot <- ggplot(trial, aes(x =total , y = power, colour = as.factor(n1))) + 
           geom_line()+ facet_wrap(~P1+P2) + geom_point() + theme(legend.position = "right",plot.title = element_text(color="darkblue", size=16, face="bold.italic", hjust = 0.5),axis.title.x = element_text(color="black", size=12, face="bold"),
           axis.title.y = element_text(color="black", size=12, face="bold"), strip.background = element_rect(fill = "blue") ) +
           ggtitle("Plot")

Using the information from this excellent answer from @filups21, we can identify which grobs match the strip backgrounds and set the first (top) element to "red":

library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
g <- ggplot_gtable(ggplot_build(plot))
stript <- which(grepl('strip-t', g$layout$name))
for(i in stript) g$grobs[[i]]$grobs[[1]]$children[[1]]$gp$fill <- "red"
grid::grid.draw(g)
