After typing ?colors I get a nice help page that points me to a lot of other functions that generate more than 8 colors. Maybe your installation of R is broken and you cannot see this help page? You certainly tried to get help on colors as well. There is no limit of the color number in the functions above, simply specify the color you want to get. The only color limit applies for the device and for most devices and rgb colors this is 256^3.
