!P.Background = FSC_Color('ivory')
!P.Color = FSC_Color('navy')
Plot, indgen(11), /NoData
Oplot, indgen(11), Color=FSC_Color('blue')
Oplot, Reverse(indgen(11)), Color=FSC_Color('green')

You can find FSC_COLOR here:

http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_color.pro

You are getting a red plot, because you are in color
decomposition turned on mode, which is the default mode
for IDL running with a 24-bit graphics card. You could
set yourself into INDEXED color mode by typing this:

Device, Decomposed=0

But if you use FSC_Color to specify your colors there
is no need to. You will get the specified color no matter
what color decomposition state you choose to work in.
(And why would anyone NOT want to display all 16.7 million
colors simultaneously!? Don't listen to the Luddites who
want you to set yourself in PSUEDO_COLOR mode!)

You might want to browse the numerous articles on using
color in IDL on my web page. In particular, you want to
read this one:

Cheers,

David
