How many colors are you looking for? There are limits to how many the eye can make out, but perhaps the RColorBrewer package would be a place to start. Also check out: http://colorbrewer2.org/
To see all the builtin colors, you can simply use the colors() function, but your viewer won't be able to distinguish most of them.
