choosing colors

Maybe not so much a Cocoa question, but don't know where else to post it.

I have a textview and am adding drawings it to annotate certain parts. I am having trouble selecting which colors I want to use for that. There can be 4 or 5 different colors, and they should all be distinguishable and not interfere much with the text, but I don't want it to look like a rainbow or something like that. So not [NSColor redColor], [NSColor blueColor], etc.

How do I go about selecting the colors? Blue seems an obvious candidate, but how do I get 5 shades of blue that work well together? Or should I add contrasting colors as well?

Are there any guidelines for this?

- Koen.
