I would like to create a figure with several lines having different colors greater than the default number of colors.

Best Answer

The figure can be created with several colors greater than the default number of colors by resetting the property "DefaultAxesColorOrder" of the figure.
As an example, this can be done with the following code snippet:
h = colormap(lines);
close(gcf)
set(0,'DefaultAxesColorOrder',h);
plot(rand(20,20))
Alternatively, you could also define your own colormaps by specifying RGB values for the variable "h" in the above example.
