Often times when I sit down to design something I have an image (or two) in mind already. In fact, I typically have some great graphic imagery but I don’t have, conceptually, an idea of how to build out the colors of the rest of the site.
So, I’ll let the image lead the way.
One tool that I’ve used is the uber-cool Color Palette Generator.
I can take any image, upload it quickly, and it spits back a CSS file that matches the colors of the image or as a color swatch for Photoshop.
See my lovely mug here with the camera? I’ve got the color palette to choose from (if I were making a site using this image).
Awesomeness. Check it out for yourself!
nice one, but that is a tool that is going into the must use for 'new blog with WP 2.7/8 hosted on lusion dot co dot za in cahootz with friend Ron'

So many great uses from this one! Thanks!
Sure thing!
Some of these apps are definitely great. Be sure to check out kuler.adobe.com online, I use that quite a bit. Many different palettes, and you can also create your own and save them. Both an online version and a local app available.
Gabe, right on. thanks for adding that!
Unrelated but didn't see an email address. Thought this might be something that interests you
