Many thanks Bob.
Picking up from what you did, I believe the colors can be specified slightly
more simply as:
curveColor[n_Integer] :=
Hue[Mod[0.67 + 0.2360679774997899`*(n - 1), 1], 0.6, 0.6]
Table[curveColor[n], {n, 1, 15}] // Column
The automatic FillingStyle appears to be specified by a Directive as
follows:
fillColor[n_Integer] := Opacity[0.2, curveColor[n]]
Table[fillColor[n], {n, 1, 5}] // Column
Then the question is: Does 0.2360679774997899 come from something
interesting or is it just a trial and error choice? And although the colors
do not exactly repeat, they are not all that distinguishable beyond the
first four.

You can readily determine the default color scheme.
p = Plot[Evaluate[
Table[a*x, {a, 15}]],
{x, 0, 1}]
The colors are
colors = Cases[p, Hue[__], Infinity]
{Hue[0.67, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.906068, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.142136, 0.6, 0.6],
Hue[0.378204, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.614272, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.85034, 0.6, 0.6],
Hue[0.0864079, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.322476, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.558544, 0.6, 0.6],
Hue[0.794612, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.0306798, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.266748, 0.6, 0.6],
Hue[0.502816, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.738884, 0.6, 0.6], Hue[0.974952, 0.6, 0.6]}
Note that the green and blue components are constant at 0.6 and only the red
component varies. Plotting the red component:
n = 1; ListPlot[
c = Cases[colors,
Hue[r_, 0.6, 0.6] :> {n++, r},
Infinity]]
These are lines of constant slope
f[{lb_, ub_}] := FindFit[
Select[c, lb <= #[[1]] <= ub &],
a*x + b, {a, b}, x]
f /@ {{1, 2}, {3, 6}, {7, 10}, {11, 15}}
{{a -> 0.236068, b -> 0.433932}, {a -> 0.236068,
b -> -0.566068}, {a -> 0.236068, b -> -1.56607}, {a -> 0.236068,
b -> -2.56607}}
red[n_?NumericQ] := Module[
{y = 0.236068 n + 0.433932},
y - Floor[y]];
Plot[red[x], {x, 0, 15.2},
Epilog -> {Red, AbsolutePointSize[3],
Point[c]}]
The colors are then
color[n_Integer] := Hue[red[n], 0.6, 0.6]
