I am having problems picking hex colors to go on a pie chart that I'm working on. If anyone has a list of HTML colors that look ok, I'm going for something that is close to a gradient or gradual change between colors...
I've tried going through them manually but I'm ending up with a lot of colors that are too close to call, so if someone already has this handy, please post it here or give me a link.
Thanks!

I'm bad at picking colors that go well next to each other. I'm doing a pie chart so I can't cycle through colors that are close to the same... I need people to be able to tell the difference. I need about 64 colors that are distinct from each other and then I need them in an order where it looks like a transition between them rather than just random colors on a pie chart.
I tried doing that sort of - I was using open office and started with 16^6-1 and worked backwards by 100, but the colors don't end up in a gradient really.
I've got it working OK with blue right now, but if someone had it handy it would have been easy to use. It's ok - I think I'm done for now.

EDIT: Please see my other post Guru.
For everyone else, cycle the colors from 0000FF (Blue) to 00FF00 (Green) to FFFF00 (Yellow) to FF0000 (Red) to FF00FF (Purple) a little at a time.

I wrote a program in C++ (would have been more useful in JavaScript, but I don't know enough to make it work there) that does exactly that. For 64 colors, it came out like this.
EDIT: Yeh, it probably would have been easier to start with blue.

Hey, if you're gonna insist on a 660kb avatar, that's how you do it, not with some 3000x2000px image of Admiral Ackbar. I give you a pass. As for the question at hand, I got nuthin.
