Is it possible to randomly color polygons?

I have a layer with a lot of polygons that I want to display, but I
don't really care about what color those polygons are (they're not
classified, I'm not going to have a legend, I just want them to be
different colors so no 2 adjacent polygons are the same color, e.g.
counties in a state or states in the US). It seems like it'd be a
pretty common thing to want, but is there a reasonably easy way to do
it? I'm guessing the best way would be to assign a class to each of the
polygons, but is there some sort of algorithm to figure out how many
colors I need and how to assign them?
Any ideas?
