A colleague of mine recently introduced me to a tool created by Adobe called Kuler. Adobe Kuler is a web-hosted application for generating color themes that can inspire any project. The online tool lets you browse other users' themes or create your own using a drag-and-drop color wheel and/or numerical settings (RGB, CMYK, etc.). You can title, tag, save and publish your themes, and download them for use in other Adobe applications.
In addition to creating generating and searching for color themes the tool has an application programming interface (API) that allows developers to create new services using Kuler themes. The only requirement for using the API is developers are now required to get a developer key. For more information about the developer key click here.
It looks like this tool has been around for sometime, but I guess it is better late than never. Thanks Andy for the recommendation.

Kuler is an awesome tool, especially for the design-impaired like me. I use it every time I need to come up with a color scheme for a project.
