I'd be mildly interested in seeing a slightly different kind of tool: generating color schemes for sci-fi illustrations. Bear with me here:
If you look at this gallery, for example: http://www.thomlab.com/gallery.htm , you'll see that many of the paintings follow the same way of picking emotionally appealing colors. Firstly, there's a really dark foreground color used for some objects that are extremely close by, at the edges of the frame, like a "door jamb" to guide the viewer inside. Then there's a lighter color for the midground (is that a word?) and a still lighter one for the distant background, like the sky, to hint that the pictured world is huge. Can we get a tool that generates triples of colors suitable for this?
