Is it possible to do ContourPlots with no Shading but with a different color
for each contour line?
-----------------------
As other indicated you can do that with the ContourStyle option. The
setting of this option should be a list of styles where each style is a list
in itself. If you have contours at say 10 different levels and you provide
4 styles it will cycle through the different styles as required. In the
example below I provide enough styles to have a different one for each
contour level.
In[52]:=
styles=Table[{Hue[h,1,1]},{h, 0.6, 1, 0.03}];
ContourPlot[Sin[x y],{x,-2,2},{y,-2,2},ContourShading->False,
ContourStyle->styles];

Notice you can also specify which contours should be used. Using the line
below you get a contour along paths where Sin[x y] is
-0.75,-0.5,-0.25,0.25,0.5,0.75
In[54]:=
styles=Table[{Hue[h,1,1]},{h,0.6,1,0.06}];
ContourPlot[Sin[x y],{x,-2,2},{y,-2,2},ContourShading->False,
ContourStyle->styles,Contours->{-0.75,-0.5,-0.25,0.25,0.5,0.75}];
