Description
Can you please move yellow in the default plot colour list
It currently appears as the 7th colour in a set of plots. It’s well known to be impossible to see on white. I find myself constantly having to change the yellow curve to a more visible colour.
Thanks
Rob Dalgliesh

A script to produce curves that don't overlap:
Load(Filename='OFFSPEC00004622.raw',OutputWorkspace='ws') prefix='shifted-' plot_names = [] for i in range(9): output_name=prefix+str(i) offset=(i+1)*5000 ChangeBinOffset(InputWorkspace='ws', OutputWorkspace=output_name,Offset=offset) plot_names.append(output_name) plotSpectrum(plot_names,0)

Reogranise curve colour selection list. Refs #6770
The default set should be a bit more distinguisable now and yellow has been moved to the bottom as the default background colour is white and yellow is then practically invisible.

- Status changed from accepted to verify
- Resolution set to fixed
Branch: feature/6770_curve_colours
Tester: The script in comment 2 will produce & plot several curves. Yellow should not be among the selected colours. It should still be selectable from the properties dialog though (right click on a curve select properties).
