I experimentally created colors which looks good for me. They are in contrast
and BW printer friendly. I use brighter values for + and darker for -.
If I need more than 8 colors, I use them again.

There is piece of my perl code with HEX RGB values:

my @colorsin = (
'30FC30',
'3096FC',
'FFC930',
'FF3030',
'30CC30',
'3030CC',
'FFFF00',
'CC3030'
);
my @colorsout = (
'00CC00',
'0066CC',
'FF9900',
'CC0000',
'009900',
'000099',
'CCCC00',
'990000'
);

Best regards,

Pavel Ruzicka

PS. You can use Color scheme generator for experimenting with colors:
