as long as we don't have 26 colors we can have a color for each letter of the alphabet.
For example:
A.) aqua
B.) blue
C.) chartreuse
D.) drab
E.) ebony
F.) fuchsia
G.) gold
H.) heliotrope
I.) indigo
J.) jade
K.) khaki
L.) lavender
M.) mint
N.) navy blue
O.) orange
P.) purple (Phlox)
Q.) quartz
R.) red
S.) salmon
T.) teal
U.) Umber (burnt)
V.) violet
W.) wine
X.) xanthic
Y.) yellow
Z.) zinc

Of course one could take some time to pick colors that are not as close to each other etc. but i just wanted to show that every letter in the alphabet has at least 1 color.
