how to get more colors?

Hai,

I have used all the colors viz. 'y','m','c','r','g','b','w' and 'k' in matlab to draw lines. I need to draw some more lines with different colors, other than the above colors. How could I get more colors to draw lines? Looking for your reply.

You do not have to choose colors randomly. Use any graphics software (like Paint) and use the color editor to find a color you want. Divide the resulting RGB numbers by 255 to get a number between 0 and 1. Example:

plot(x,y,'Color',[.61 .51 .74]) % makes a pretty purple

So helpful, thank you!

FYI the uisetcolor tool in MATLAB will allow you to select a color interactively and return the RGB value you can use to set the 'Color' property of a graphics object.

You can use the option 'Color' and then chosing any combination of randon numbers (between 0 and 1) which form a triplet, e.g. [0.1 0.3 0.5]. This will give a combination of saturation for Red, Green and Blue, that as you may know, can be combined to give almost any color (RGB system).

syntax would be plot(t,x,'Color',[rand rand rand])
