Plots: Avoid using yellow for a curve

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.

  • 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).
