Default African Cichlids

A friend of mine wants to put african cichlids in a 55 gal tank, but only wants the most colorful ones. One of each, like one blue, one yellow, one red......
I don't know much about african cichlids, since i'm keeping mostly south american fish.
But I have a gut feeling that this might not be a good idea. Mostly only the males are that colorful and how are they supposed to co-exist, being crammed together like that without killing each other?

Do you have any suggestions to what she can put in her tank that is very colorful and don't leave her with a bunch of dead or injured fish?
I will convey your suggestions to her and hope she'll listen.
