May I remember some work was done in this direction when we added the 
branch name to hgweb. Using an HSV wheel looked like the best option to 
uniformly spread the colors in the color space. This feature did not 
made it as no one was able to settle on a minimum number of color we 
want to be able to distinguish.

Patch is there <http://markmail.org/message/g2b3bwddrzedjkkh>. There 
Might be something to reuse here.

Benoit
