Hi,

and because Plot[] has the attribute HoldAll, it can't find out
that

Plot[Table[Sin[a x], {a, 1, 2}], {x, 0, Pi},
       PlotStyle -> {Hue[0.7], Hue[1]}]

has a List[] as result and so it handle it as a single function
and not as a list of functions. The single function is colored in one
color, a list of functions in different colors. So you must enable
Mathematica to detect that you have a list of functions and write

Plot[
  Evaluate[
    Table[Sin[a x], {a, 1, 2}]
   ], {x, 0, Pi},
       PlotStyle -> {Hue[0.7], Hue[1]}]

Regards
   Jens
