geom_contour_filled colour palette

I was trying to run the following code, but I can't seem to get to change the colour palette to the Spectral palette from ColorBrewer. Thoughts?

maya <- tibble(
  mass = seq(1, 10, length.out = 10),
  mois = seq(11, 20, length.out = 10)
) %>%
  expand(mass, mois) %>%
  mutate(
    diff = mois - mass * runif(1)
  ) %>%
  ggplot(aes(mass,mois,z = diff)) +
    geom_contour_filled() +
    scale_fill_distiller(palette = "Spectral")

If I understand correctly, perhaps you're after something like the combination of geom_raster with interpolate = TRUE and scale_fill_distiller?

library(tidyverse)

tibble(
  mass = seq(1, 10, length.out = 10),
  mois = seq(11, 20, length.out = 10)
) %>%
  expand(mass, mois) %>%
  mutate(
    diff = mois - mass * runif(1)
  ) %>%
  ggplot(aes(mass,mois,fill = diff)) +
  geom_raster(interpolate = TRUE) +
  scale_fill_distiller(palette = "Spectral")

To expand, scale_fill_distiller can interpolate the colour scale to fit a continuous range of values, but it cannot actually interpolate your data, as it were. As far as I know, no such functionality is built into geom_contour_filled either. Therefore, I think you either need to do your interpolation by hand before plotting, or rely on something like the interpolation in geom_raster.
