Here is an interesting tool I stumbled across called Color Schemer for dealing with color (obviously) that I think would be nifty for us to implement something similar within inkscape. Here are a couple screenshots in action: http://www.colorschemer.com/images/v3screenmain.png http://www.colorschemer.com/images/studioscreenharm.png http://www.colorschemer.com/images/studioscreenmixer.gif There is an online version too, which has the basic functionality and we can probably view source to get some ideas from. http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html My thought is that since we now have swatches, a "utility" like this would rock for knocking together good harmonious swatch sets with great ease. Just my .02

Josh, file an RFE at http://sf.net/projects/inkscape
It would be great to offer suggestions based upon color theory, etc. The color wheel is a good selector for complementary, etc colors. Please attach those screenshots to the RFE.

I've mentioned this to Petr Vanek, the Scribus dev who did our colour wheel in 1.3.xcvs. It might be interesting to collaborate to develop the GUI in a similar direction. ??

If you could add comments about this Colour tool to the Wiki it would be a good idea http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OtherProjects
Personally I'd love to see an application like this or something similar for gradients written for Gnome using Python or some other high level language. It would be great if a bunch of other smaller focussed tools sprung up around Inkscape and OpenClipart.org

You know, I'd love to see it in inkscape, but I do think it would be pretty awesome as a Gnome utility that one could use between different programs. But, the real benefit to it being in inkscape would be that win32 & mac users would get the benefit as well.

Anyone wishing to improve http://gcolor2.sf.net/ ? :)

Neat. There is a quite powerful color wheel tool in Scribus 1.3.0 already. Worth investigating too.

Something along these lines would be neat in Inkscape, or as a separate tool. And just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, there is another, similar looking tool at: http://www.wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html

Now THAT is also a gem of a find. Thanks! (going to add it to that feature request now). The vision problem settings would be great too...

That's been much of my intent from the beginning. I've been planing on drawing on everything I remember from my Color Theory class back in college, in addition to things from working with print and multimedia production.
One complication is that we want to support a more robust concept of 'color' than the simple 24-bit RGB values Gimp and other apps use.
