Rather spot on.  That said, at least understanding
how some basic colour theory works in principle to pull
out colour chords and such is probably a good starting
point for many who have zero to no experience in the
subject.  If we head further down this path, we could
potentially suggest that the work accomplished thus
far (and in the past for that matter) would do well to
have the basic principles highlighted.

The immediate value of a decent colour palette tool
is in its experimentation ability.

"Colorscheme2" is the most 'by-the-book' tool I have
found so far, and it offers a good degree of flexibility
to roll the colour wheels locked in some of the more
standard approaches.

Sincerely,
TJS
