Description
The allen institute has published a nomenclature for brain cell types with 127 types. When I annotate my cells with those types, the umap plot doesn't color the cells:
Would it be possible to support coloring this number of clusters?

Research direction
Start by locating the palette implementation used by UMAP plots and reproduce the reported case with 127 annotated cell types. The work is complete when the plot assigns distinguishable colors to all clusters; the issue does not name a file or test, so the relevant implementation and validation path must be identified first.
