The simplest way is to set the colours in the `props.defaultStyles.colors`, e.g.:

Alternatively, and more precisely, you can also set the colours, as I said in my previous post, in the `this.props.plots[x].trends[y].columns[z]` property. Using this method, you can specify what colour you want for each pen based on its pen name.
