specialized color tables [message #63274]

Hello.

I have a data set that I want to display according to a color scheme
like this one. The data can be group into 6-8 sets (eg, A,B,C....),
with each set divided into 6-8 subsets (eg, A1,A2,A3...
B1,B2,B3...C1,C2,C3... ).

I'd like to color each group with a basic color, with the subsets
having different shades of the same color, something along the lines
of

A1: firetruck red
A2: red
A3: rust

B1: orange
B2: darker orange
B3: dingy orange

etc.

I've worked on this a bit and I've found that its hard to come up with
6-8 distinct colors which have 6-8 distinct shades. I was wondering
if anyone knew of such a color set that accomplishes this. The Brewer
color tables do this pretty well for 3-4 colors, but I'm going to
require more base colors than that.....

Thanks,

Mark
