Use the RGB components explicitly:

h = zeros(20,1);
figure; hold on
for ii = 1:20;
   h(ii) = plot(1:10,cumsum(rand(1,10)),'Color',rand(1,3));
end
legend(h);

Random colors are not a guarantee, that there are different colors.

the odds are in my favor ;)

You can use RGB colors, which are defined by a [1 x 3] vector. There are several colormaps available in Matlab already, e.g.:

cmap = jet(15);
for k = 1:15
  line(1:10, rand(1:10)+k, 'Color', cmap(k, :));
end

[Bruno Pedroni]

cmap = jet(15);
for k = 1:15
  line(1:10, rand(1,10)+k, 'Color', cmap(k, :));
end

For me this worked very nicely!

    hold on
elseif a==2
    y=x.^a;
    plot(x,y,'r')   %Now choose the color

hold on
grid on
end
