I'm looking for a list o开发者_如何学运维f about thirty colors (RGB values) that are sufficently different so that when used in a bar chart the user can match each bar to that color in the legend.

Does anyone have such a list of colors?

Thanks,

AJ

More color dictionaries than you can shake a stick at. I recommend looking at "small" or "medium".

Hows about constructing the colour from HSV or HSL and dividing the complete range of the hue part into however many bars you are using

You could use the Tango Color Palette.

I doubt there is something exactly like the one you described, if I was to do it, I'd pick the colors from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors there is a table which contains a fairly differenciated set.

Don't forget that 10% of males (like me) are red/green color-blind. For those folks, its unlikely that you'll find the 30 colors you want.
