Once you have created the plot, you can manually change its color:
Right-click onto the plot line and choose "Properties". Once you click
into the Color field, you can pick one of the predefined colors, or
create your own color.

From the command line, it looks to me as if there is no way other than
specifying the RGB vector. But as David wrote, you can leave that job to
his fsc_color() routine.
