Interesting, it appears to simply scale the image down to a 3x3px image (or
optionally 5x5, 7x7). Look at the duck or landscape 11 pictures. This
probably isn't the best technique for creating a pallet. In essence, you
could recreate the application with a bit of python code...
import Image
im = Image.open(attackhamster.jpg)
print im.size
(800, 600)
size = 3,3
im.thumbnail(size)
for pixel in list(im.getdata()):
... print #%02x%02x%02x % pixel
...
#030400
#030303
#060503
#030303
#070508
#fdc087
#0f1b4f
#895a3c
#936858
colors = im.getcolors()
colors.sort(reverse=True)
for count,color in colors:
... print #%02x%02x%02x x%d %(color[0],color[1],color[2],count)
...
#030303 x2
#fdc087 x1
#936858 x1
#895a3c x1
#0f1b4f x1
#070508 x1
#060503 x1
#030400 x1
It would probably be better to use the 9x9 and then pick one or two colors
and use them as a base to generate a pallet from one of the other tools.
hmm... that attackhamster.jpg does produce a very nice color pallet

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.
