I experimentally created colors which looks good for me. They are in contrast
and BW printer friendly. I use brighter values for + and darker for -.
If I need more than 8 colors, I use them again.

There is piece of my perl code with HEX RGB values:

        my @colorsin = (
                '30FC30',
                '3096FC',
                'FFC930',
                'FF3030',
                '30CC30',
                '3030CC',
                'FFFF00',
                'CC3030'
        );
        my @colorsout = (
                '00CC00',
                '0066CC',
                'FF9900',
                'CC0000',
                '009900',
                '000099',
                'CCCC00',
                '990000'
        );

PS. You can use Color scheme generator for experimenting with colors:
