It helps, but it's still not my goal: one can indeed do

gnuplot> set style line 2 lt rgb "#00CC00"
gnuplot> plot x, x*x ls 2

But what we want here is that just typing the following brings readable
red + dark green curves too, without having to type any additional
thing:

gnuplot> plot x, x*x

One thing forth noting, is that the x11 terminal apparently takes its
default colormap from X11 itself, and that results in a palette quite
similar to what I proposed, actually! The wxt and postscript terminals
however still have unreadable colors 2, 6, etc.

I wonder if we could perhaps start a poll on the gnuplot-info mailing
list or news:comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot, to collect users' opinion.
