I got my template from here, so I'll mention my free site here as well. If you need some inspirations for color palettes please do check out my first foray into programming. It's called "chroma-some," and it's designed to help you find the perfect color palette (for whatever -- your website, the repainting of your living room). It presents you with random combinations that in theory should look nice and then starts recombining and mutating the combinations you say look nice to give you other combinations that you might like which you can later email to yourself.

It's a very, very crude genetic algorithm. Still, I get some colors that I wouldn't have considered that I really like together.

You can try it out here:

There's some kinks to be worked out (the number one issue at the moment is that you can't go back to previous sets to select a color that you realize you actually liked), but you can see the proof of concept there anyway. My thought is that if people used it en masse, it would also be a fun tool for collecting data -- very easy to do through the Google framework -- about color preferences (what colors are popular over time and in different regions of the world).

Hope you find it useful and thanks to Alec Gorge for the very nice, minimalistic and easily configurable template.

I like it as is. I would say a few more combinations on each page would be good but 99 would be way too many.

One problem i found is that on my screen if you saved 3 combinations, the 3rd one overlaped the edge of the template.

Thanks for using my template! Very, very nice site you have there! I think you should be able to use a color picker to tweak colors when you mixing them. I know jQuery has one as a plugin (http://acko.net/dev/farbtastic). If you need help with jQuery i can help you!
