Have a look at http://www.colorbrewer.org --- and then install the R package
RColorBrewer via

        $ sudo R                # to be able to write in /usr/local
        > install.packages("RColorBrewer")

and then do
        
        > library(RColorBrewer)
        > display.brewer.all(8)         # all 8-values palettes
        > display.brewer.pal(8, "RdBu") # 8 colors from a 'Red/Blue' palette

RColorBrewer provides a variety of 'color palettes'. The colorbrewer sites
has info on which color schemes are good for viewing, photocopying, lcd,
overhead, and printing (i.e. CMYK).
