The sooner the better. In order to avoid confusion each Friday morning about what color corresponds to what sample, it would be good to agree on a color code. Here is a list of palette : http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes/most-loved/all-time/meta with the "Thought Provoking" suggested by SB (I like it as well). The closer then we use to have would be something like TT --> ECD078 , DY --> 53777A, ZZ --> 542437 (two more left) but any suggestions are welcome :-) We will need more then one palette to fit the number of MC so do not hesitate to propose also other palette.

Nice! D95B43 for singleT?

D95B43 for WW + jets ? Do we put all the single top with D95B43, totally separate them or use the same color with minor difference (as for DY where we can put M10-50 slightly darker then M >50 )? I would prefer the latter. (tW is quite different then s and t channel which, for me, could be merged together).

This maybe looks like an irrelevant discussion but it is not. A good palette makes your life easy.

I prefer the latter as Brieuc

(agree with Miguel here, and I personally prefer tuning the plot style earlier than later on: it is 0 work to have them added to any AN / presentation / etc. and already look professional rather than messy, even with the same physics content)

A nice trick to lighten a color: you can simply add a bit of transparency into it, and it super easy to in plotIt 😄

I don't have big objections... Looks nice indeed.
Personally, I think that I have a slight preference for the Ocean Five palette, but that's not strong... basically the same but lighter.

In case we need more colors, I like this one quite much.

Ocean Five is a bit more contrasted than Thought Provoking... This might make a difference on a beamer/crappy Vidyo connection?

FYI, for last Tuesday's plots I used Ocean Five with 00A0B0 for DY_M-50, CF00A0B0 for DY_M10-50 (transparency modified from FF to CF based on the other DY... could be another value) and EB6841 for TTbar.

As for the rest, we could imagine using EDC951 for singleT tW, some transparency added for singleT t-channel, and still more for s-channel (this might get too yellow to be visible on beamers... but these last two will be really small contributions in llbb).
And then CC333F for VV (WW+jets lighter than ZZ?), 6A4A3C for QCD (crappy colour for crappy process)?
