You could change it from a yellow->purple scale and make your own scale:

map = map %>% addLegend("bottomright", 
  colors =c("#FFC125",  "#FFC125", "#8A4117", "#7D0552", "#571B7E"),
  labels= c("less", "","","","", "more"),
  title= "(e.g.) % voting UKIP at GE2015"
  opacity = 1)

If you get the correct colors then it should look similar. Not the answer you were looking for, but it's a good workaround. Your output would look like this:

Spend more time looking for better color transition and you could get a legend that looks similar to the yellow-purple color pallet you have up top.
