Nice color pallettes for graphs?

Hi,

I'm looking for some nice color pallettes for my Illustrator graphs. The default is pretty much black, grey and lighter grey. I'm not sure I want that, but I don't want anything too fancy either.

Many thanks!

Open Window %26gt; Swatch Libraries %26gt; Default CMYK, a good place to start.?From there, you can create some interesting alternatives.?If your file is in RGB mode, just select ''Default RGB'' instead of ''Default CMYK''.?But if it is a print piece, stick with CMYK.

Thanks, that helps me too. Easy when you know how!

This still doesn't change the default from greyscale though- How can I apply a swatch so that it will give me percentages of the swatch rather than percentages of black without having to go in and manually change everything??????

Here's a website that may be helpful. Also, make sure to keep tints at least 20% apart.
