I love the spectral color table (cgloadct, 74, /reverse) plotted over a gray background, not white. Use CgColorFill to make the interior of the plotting region gray. (I just reverse it because I like things to go from cool colors to warm, rather than the other way around.)

As long as you have 16 or less different traces, just do:
DeltaColor=fix(255/(Num_Traces-1))
Colors=indgen(Num_Traces)*DeltaColor

(If you need more than 16 colors on one plot, you should rearrange the scheme entirely...)

Another good thing to do is vary the PSYM and THICK incrementally for each trace.

Good luck! Pretty plots are few and far between.
