BTW, regerding your screnshot, I am bit tired having all these colors Qt::red, 
Qt::green, Qt::blue colors reminding me the MS DOS' CGA era. How about 
defining the sequence of colors(in kdelibs?), probably based on KDE 4's 
official palette. Such a sequence then can be used by default in KDE apps in 
charts?

KOffice's color styles could default to this color set for charts as well.
