Highly recommended: the Adobe Color website (before Kuler): https://color.adobe.com/explore/most-popular/?time=all Also the mobile app is extremely well done (can create color schemes from picture or live from the camera)

In a similar vein I'd recommend ColourLovers[1]. Been using them for I think close to a decade for color, palette, pattern and general design inspiration.

Comparable to Kuler you can browse[2] or search[3] their palettes.

That is awesome! I can't believe I haven't seen it before. The API is undocumented and restricted it seems, but I did manage to get the first 5000 or so color palettes before my browser crashed: http://pasted.co/38096f65

how did you do this?

This seems like a fun project and it is inspiring that the author challenged himself to make it, it's very commendable and something I was planning on doing myself when I get some free time. What follows is a tangentially related rant, so feel free to skip it if you don't care about WordPress. I watched the video[vid] and I was shocked when he got to he WordPress-vs-Rails debate. I'll ignore the fact that both of the…

WordPress is one of the easiest-to-use CMSs out there and has changed over the years to be much more than a blogging engine. It's not abuse, it's intended by Automatic because they've modified core to support these features.

If you're interested in this kind of API, http://www.colr.org has one too.

how did you do this?

I inserted some JS code via the console that scrolls to the bottom of the page whenever the 'collection-assets' div changed, waited, ran observer.disconnect() as my browser was crashing to a halt, and then saved the HTML and combed through it with regexes.

    var target = document.querySelector('.collection-assets');

    var observer = new MutationObserver(function() {
      window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight);
    });

    var config = { childList: true };

    observer.observe(target, config);

Cool! Yeah, I like having enormous lists of color palettes for doing algorithmic art. I will definitely hit up the colr API and the colourlovers one posted above too.
