Apply Random Color to Group of Objects

Hello all, thanks for taking the time to help.

Here's my issue... lets say I have 600 different objects in illustrator (just little circles with a fill color, no stroke) and 6 different colors that these circles should be. That means, I'd like about a 100 to be one color, 100 another color, etc... Is there anyway to select all 600 and just tell Illustrator that I have these 6 colors and I want to apply them to the selected objects randomly?

Let me know if this is confusing... hopefully there is some option to do this. I don't want to apply them manually...

Thanks!

OK. Got it. Had to modify the script a bit more.

As I wrote in the previous post, this is done with a random number generator, and that's not exactly what you want. But if you want to play with the script, here is the modified version:

Make sure you make the undeletable swatches -- [none] and [registration] -- the first two in the palette/panel.

I've made a script that can do this as well:
