Solution 1 - Css

Adobe's Kuler - http://kuler.adobe.com/

is widely considered to be the best color palette selector out there, as it also lets you share color palettes other users have created. Sign in, click create, and you'll have options including "complementary" that give you a good starting point if you have one color in mind.

Solution 2 - Css

<http://www.colorschemer.com> has an online color scheme gallery.

They also have a free desktop app called ColorPix:

I love colourlovers.com. It's a great community and a great idea, though it doesn't really "spit back" colors as you were looking for. The community that contributes to it provides ample complementary colors though.

Solution 4 - Css

I'm a huge fan of Color Scheme Designer...

Agreed with davebug, Kuler (kuler.adobe.com) all the way!

Solution 8 - Css

I love Adobe's www.kuler.com ... if you sign up, you can download the palettes as Adobe Swatch files and use them in Creative Suite products.

Though, it's really just a search tool for user-submitted palettes... maybe not exactly what you're looking for.

Solution 9 - Css

I think this one is very good: http://www.gpeters.com/color/color-schemes.php.

All you have to do is to write a keyword and let Yahoo! to pick your color scheme.

Solution 10 - Css

I like Colr.org a lot. It doesn't have a color wheel, but it has some really interesting features. You can choose a color scheme from an image, tag colors--and color schemes and even search on the tags. It's good for inspiration.

Solution 11 - Css

I've used ColorPic for quite a while. It's been excellent for my needs.

Solution 12 - Css

Colorotate seems good too.
