Have a look at http://www.colorbrewer.org --- and then install the R package
RColorBrewer via
$ sudo R # to be able to write in /usr/local
> install.packages("RColorBrewer")
and then do

RColorBrewer provides a variety of 'color palettes'. The colorbrewer sites
has info on which color schemes are good for viewing, photocopying, lcd,
overhead, and printing (i.e. CMYK).
