The nine colors The Economist uses for chart series: blue, cyan, green, yellow, olive, purple, gold, gray, and red, in that order. Red comes last because the house style reserves it for data the chart is making a point about, rather than handing it out as an ordinary series color.
Details
A tenth color, "Econ red", is the brighter masthead red used for the
tag rectangle and for single-series highlights. It is excluded from
this palette; take it from
ggthemes_data$economist$main when you need it.
