Comment(by karsten):

 Custom colors would take a lot of coding effort, so I'd prefer a different
 color set.  Can you suggest a better palette for the versions graph that
 works for color blind people and that scales to new added versions?  We're
 currently using [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-
 web.git/blob/HEAD:/rserve/graphs.R#l418 YlOrBr] as seen on
 http://www.datavis.ca/sasmac/brewerpal.html with 8 colors and 0.2.5 being
 the 9th.  Or, as a compromise, we could use a color palette with only 5
 different colors and the 6th being very similar to the 1st, the 7th being
 similar to the 2nd, and so on.  The risk of confusing 0.1.2 relays with
 0.2.4 relays is rather low.
