At a bit of a tangent here... we're building a couple of websites in ASP.NET and Silverlight at the moment and one thing that was driving us nuts was trying to keep track of colour schemes.
Which colours gave rise to which gradients, or given a gradient image, what colours would reproduce it?
Which colours in which bits of CSS need to change to swing a purple theme to a green one?
Yes, we know you can store palettes in various tools (we're actually PaintShop Pro fans but don't tell those nice people at Adobe) but we wound up cobbling together a rather nifty application that amongst other things allows us to rotate colour gradients by hue (so a blue gradient becomes a pink one for example) and build colour schemes according to "proper" colour theory.
If it's just us being dumb and there are hundred tools out there already that do this stuff, let us know, but otherwise we'll publish our baby for free as soon as it's finished acquiring features....
