I have question to for shuffle list in scala using scala.util.Random.

For example I have

val a = cyan
val b = magenta
val c = yellow
val d = key

val color = Random.shuffle.List(a,b,c,d).toString //but it doesn't work ;(

so I want the val color to be random order of val a, b, c and d.

I've seen in many examples that sometimes a Seq is being used, while other times is the List... Is there any difference, other than the former one being a Scala type and the List coming from Java?
