Neat. I don't know what to do with it though now that I have it.

Generating clear palettes as a result of the palettes discovered would be immensely helpful for designers.

demon (or God) made sport of me with that poem. I take comfort my enemies can be made sport of.

God says...

came to Jerusalem.

23:3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

23:4 This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors; 23:5 And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.

23:6 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

23:7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

A bit off topic, but I hope this isn't true: Additionally, there won’t be any new colors years from now. The color spectrum of the future will be exactly the same as it is today. It’s neat to think we already have access to the color palettes of the year 3000. The usual sRGB colorspace used by most of the web is a small fraction of visible colors. Don't get me wrong, it covers most use cases just fine, but it would be nice to fill out the rest sometime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB (The colored blobby area represents all the shades the human eye can see, and the little triangle represents the colors in sRGB.) Oh and more contrast would be great too!

I always find that starting with a selection of color can really jumpstart a design. It'd be really cool if this could also pull from other sources. If I could specify "1970s america" and get color pallets from photos or scanned design works, it would be truly awesome.

Awesome tool! Love the Sorry, no Internet Explorer note. It's always nice to let users know of browsers that aren't supported by your website :)

One minor suggestion: it would be nice to add a simple tooltip on hover of the different swatches and circles that give the rgb/hex value of that particular swatch/circle.

I really like the concept and execution. Nice work! I'd like to know how you aggregated the color data. I found the js on github (https://github.com/nathanspeller/nathanspeller.github.com/bl...) and it just seems like you have a giant manually entered list of all the colors that are popular now, which won't be updated unless you update the colors.
