      Here’s an example of the same:- http://jsfiddle.net/canvasjs/7n8BV

      This page demonstrates “how to create a CanvasJS colorset” with your set of chosen colors.

      In the demonstrated example/jsfiddle, I am generating some random number of colors (atleast 4), pushing them in a new ColorSet, and passing the same to be used in CanvasJs.

      Since, the generation happens every time you land on the page, you experience diverse colors.
