This one isn't as nice but it does have the "contrast" option for a color
theme.

I was researching this subject last week and came across this:
http://jrm.cc/color-palette-generator/

You upload an image and it generates a color palette based on the colors of
the image. Seems very useful.

Googling for "color theory" should return some informative results on how
this is done. Still, I've seen artists do this by eye and come up with
spectacular results that make any auto-generated theme look calculated and
mathematical.
