Description
Code to replicate the bug:
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
library(viridis)
# If you want to draw arbitrary rectangles, use geom_tile() or geom_rect()
df <- data.frame(
x = rep(c(2, 5, 7, 9, 12), 2),
y = rep(c(1, 2), each = 5),
z = rep(c(1:4, NA), each = 2)
)
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
geom_tile(aes(fill = z)) +
scale_fill_gradientn(
colors = viridis(256),
na.value = "red")
p
ggplotly(p)
Output in ggplot2:

But this is how it looks in plotly:

I've used this in the latest cutting edge ggplot2 and plotly

Research direction
Start by running the reported ggplot2 and ggplotly reproduction with the gradient scale and NA values. Compare the rendered colors and trace the conversion path from ggplot2 to plotly; done means ggplotly preserves the configured red na.value, with coverage for the reported case.
