(this is somehow a companion report to bug #107928)

Another option that would surely be useful to better control the way colors are attributed to curves would be to (optionally) cycle colors inside each plot only and not for the whole kst.
I know this can lead to other issues (as discussed for bug #85353: e.g. same curve with different colors) but I think a global config option would be appropriate as people probably prefer either one or the other way according to their use case. I doubt many people would need to change that setting often...

The other approach to this would be a generic "autodifferentiate" tool on the basis of what has been done for black&white printing (bug #90196), which I'm ashamed to admit I have not tested yet ! Maybe it could be extended to allow cycling per-plot or kst-wide.
