very cool.. you consider adding features to let me download a stylesheet and maybe some preconfigured "skins"/"themes" instead of hacing to reconfigure 5 colors, just select one skin and have it being configured to set all 5 colors.

Your suggestion has been added to my feature requests list:) And thanks for your kind words.

neat. Actually, I was fooling around with color layouts today. Just in case you haven't heard of it, I ran across Munsell color pickers, which lays out colors according to how people perceive color.

Maybe you can add munsell later too.

What I recognized as an itch is that color pictures and theme generators would actually be better as a FF plugin, so you can adjust entire color palettes and see it take effect right on the page you're working on.

I like this - I agree w/bmaier that the visualization is great. Often what looks light at 20px square looks very dark on a full page.

One suggestion - right now I need to click around a lot to make changes. To change the bg, I click on the #1 box then head over to the slider, then to change the header, click on the #2 box and again head over to the slider... can you get that slider control to appear right on the page layout. That way I can go the section I want, see the slider, move it and then keep going...
