I have data in six series: A2, A1, B1, B2, B3, B4.
Two of these belong in one group, and four in another group.
Within these, there is a progression in the series: A2 > A1, B4 > B3 > B2 > B1.
In addition, A1 and B1 are somewhat similar (they are both "zero points").
I need a color scheme for a graph of data that will display data from all these series. As some of the resulting lines will be close together, using line markers is out of the question. Line styles are already used to express another aspect of the data.
The color scheme needs to be printer-safe as some users like to print and annotate this diagram.
How would I go about creating such a color scheme?
My main problem is that there are different amounts of elemenets on the "left" and "right" side of this scheme.

I think that more than color you should use a mix of color, patterns and labels. This way, you make sure your form bars are identified in any condition, including color blindness and monochrome printing.
I made a quick mockup using a pure white and also a light blue and yellow combination, then added 25% black to each square. The 3rd set is the blue and yellow version converted to grayscale (for monochrome printing). All options use a different pattern, so it's very easy to see the sets are really different. Of course you can use any color and any pattern, just doing this to illustrate what I mean:
