Dear Uwe, Sorry, I did not describe my question clearly. I created a matrix to store color code using rgb function.
abc = rgb(6:36,0,0,maxColorValue = 255) And after running codes like this for (i in c(1:20)) { points(...,...,col=abc[i]) lines(...,col=abc[i]) } R still used 8 colors of abc color codes repeatedly to draw the diagram Any helps?
