I've done it  before in creating some HTML templates... the problem
is, (simplified for illustration) if you have a dark background color,
a light foreground color and an accent color, you need to have them in
the same order in the pallettes so that they look good.

Also, I realized after I made my post that to do it in the HTML
templates I had to write a fair amount of python code to create the
images the right way. I expect it would need to be done for this.
That's OK, because I haven't met any Ubuntu'ers yet that have a
problem with a little python code.

Even if I can generate a proof of concept, and I'm pretty sure I can,
it doesn't mean it will work in the real world.
