assignMissingColors method

@protected void assignMissingColors(Iterable<MutableSeries<D>> seriesList, { required bool emptyCategoryUsesSinglePalette, })

Assigns colors to series that are missing their colorFn.

emptyCategoryUsesSinglePalette Flag indicating whether having all series with no categories will use the same or separate palettes. Setting it to true uses various Blues for each series. Setting it to false used different palettes (ie: s1 uses Blue500, s2 uses Red500),
