Color Palettes for Charting
Feel free to use these color palettes in your charts! Just copy the CDL ColorTable parameter below the swatch you like, and paste it into your CDL code. The definitions are arranged so that they will "wrap" pleasingly in charts; that is, the first and last values look good together.
Hexidecimal values match the swatches, moving from left to right.
