Hello, Dave!
Have you already made up your mind as to what color you allocate to which candidate?
According to a poll of mine, the Atlas community forecasts that at least four candidates will definitely win a county, and up to seven may win one.
How many colors are even available to you?
I won't speak for Dave, but I think there are 8 Atlas colors with full color pallets (red, blue, green, yellow/gold, purple, orange, teal and a light purple/violet color) - or at least there used to be.
Edit: I'm basing this on the color pallets from the old
county map generator. There may be others hiding on this website somewhere.
