How can I plot a diagram with 12-15 different colors

59 views (last 30 days)
I am plotting this graph and each graph has a different argument (y value) to it, now i want to give all the graphs different colours , how can i do that , if anyone knows please help. (Figure 2 of the Code)

"now i want to give all the graphs different colours , how can i do that"
You would need to generate 15 different colors, e.g.:

Okay , but how to do that in this context , i mean how to incorporate that into my plot , if there is any alternate easier way then also suggest

Specify the colors with RGB triplets.

Use uisetcolor. For example I brought up that dialog (using the code I commented out below, since it won't work on MATLAB Answers) and selected a dark-ish pink. It returned a certain vector that I've approximated below.
% c = uisetcolor;
c = [0.9686, 0.5137, 0.7333];
surf(peaks, 'FaceColor', c)
