Hi,
Yes The solution You have give is the best I agree too.

It is for a graph and when i mean distinct is that the human eye must be able to differenciate properly between two different colors i provide. If the users choose a custom color than that is different issue.

It is as though in a combo i will have red,green,blue,yellow,....,custom
just wanted to know more basic colors and their RGB values

Hope you get what i am looking for
