2d plotting and colours

Hi!

There are more than 8 colors.

x <- rbind(matrix(rnorm(100, sd = 0.3), ncol = 2),
                matrix(rnorm(100, mean = 1, sd = 0.3), ncol = 2))
     
(cl <- kmeans(x, i, 20))
    
s <- c("tomato4", "turquoise", "slateblue", "wheat", "snow", "skyblue",
"peru", "pink")
# see at:    
colors()
     
plot(x, col = s)
     
points(cl$centers, col = s, pch = 8, cex=2)

Hi!

I am new to R just 3 days in it and i apologize if my 
questions seem very 
trivial and consumed your valuable time.

I am coding in perl and i stumbled upon R regarding plotting good 
statistical graphs.

I tried the kmean clustering for a large matrix ,say > 150 * 
150 . I tried 
the example code given in the tutorial to perform 2d plot

# i ranges from 2 to 10
cl <- kmeans(x, i, 20)
plot(x, col = cl$cluster)
points(cl$centers, col = 1:i )

I see that there are only 8 colours defined , namely 
black,red,green,blue,cyan,magenta,yello,gray.

How should i set my colour preferences to obtain my palette 
of colours? I  
checked in the totorial which talks about R.colors and 
palatte , but i 
failed to understand how to set it.

Thank You

Asha
