Hi, I had to do something similar recently. I used HSB color values to generate distinct colors, and then converted them to RGB. I saw you message this morning, and whipped up an example of my ColorManager class using Degrafa: http://blog.sunild.com/2009/01/generating-many-different-colors-with.html To exclude colors, you can modify the code that generates colors to omit the hues you don't want.
