ChartDirector is a really powerful chart library.
Unfortunately, the colors in the standard color palette are a bit old-fashioned. I would be grateful for tips on generating at least 20 matching, modern-looking color codes (such as &hD9E5E1). What experiences have you had with corresponding websites or (free) tools?

Thanks: I am looking in the same direction now.
