This one has a selector that shifts a color scheme in the way some people with color perception problems will see it. Very useful.

I think the most important use of this one is that you can generate a palette from a wallpaper picture. That will ensure that the wallpaper will fit well to the color scheme.

  Very nice.
   
    Troy showed me this one:

  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:

  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.
