When new plottables are added, their default colors are defined by Plot.Palette which has collections of colors that live in classes in the Drawing.Colorsets namespace. ScottPlot, like matplotlib, defaults to the category10 color palette used by Vega and d3 originally developed at Tableau.

As we discovered in #1058, this palette system is hard to customize and largely undocumented. This issue/PR will explore if refactoring can simplify this process and make it easier for users to provide their own color palettes. At a minimum cookbook examples showing how to use custom palettes will be added.

This topic is closely related to #1036 but is more limited in scope.

EDIT: i want hue is a fantastic way to create custom palettes
