Comment(by novoselt):
I actually think that auto-rainbow is cool. It should be very easy to get
monochromatic and in particular black-and-white plots, e.g. for inclusion
into stuff that will be printed in B&W, but as a default during
interactive work I think it would be nice to automatically have different
colors and legend.
Regarding difficulty of seeing - perhaps it should not be just rainbow
but, say, 50% rainbow plus 50% black, so that all colors remain high-
contrast with background. I used plain rainbows a couple weeks ago
(https://sage.math.ualberta.ca:8073/home/pub/5/) and I think that green
does not look that great, especially when using a projector.
Maybe it would be a good idea also to make the legend background lighter
by default. Maybe even white to match the usual background color of the
plot itself...
