Choose your color scheme before you start and stick to it. Be consistent: blue for all headings and white for all axis attributes, for example. Better to use a few colors well than all the colors randomly.

Use the "heavier" colors at the base of the chart getting lighter as you go up. Similarly, use one color with a very dense shading pattern at the bottom and progressively lighter ones nearer the top.

Select harmonizing colors for related data. For example, orange, red, violet on a plotter or turquoise, blue, green on a screen.
