For problems like this, take a look at the Munsell color system and various algorithmic methods of working with it.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system

It's a perceptually-uniform color space, such that each "step" difference in hue, value, and/or chromaticity should be perceived as equivalent to every other step.

This makes it useful for tasks like "I need N colors, all of them equally distinguishable from each other;" indeed, that's in part what it was designed for.
