I am looking for a way to create a multi distance buffer and have each buffer a different colour. For example, a buffer around a point has 5 rings. I would like to have each ring a different colour fill.
Is there a simple way of doing this?

You can use the Multi-Ring Buffer tool that will create a polygon layer with three attributes:
- OBJECTID: The original ID of the point
- RingId: a sequence of numbers from 1 to the amount of buffers you perform in each point.
- distance: the distance from the original point to the buffer.
Running this tool from 2 points, 5 buffers and a spacing of 5 meters will generate the buffers with the following attributes:
If you want to use always the same colors for each distance you can symbolize using either ringId or distance.
In case you want a unique color for each buffer you can use a combination of two fields: OBJECTID and one of the other two. Like this:
