So that seems to be a good starting point - right?
An interactive color scheme generator on top of that?
Would that be an admin interface with some logic behind it?
Select one color - cut the colorwheel in three or four - find the two or 
three other colors matching, lighten and darken to add the lighter and 
darker shades by a set percentage. VOILA - a color scheme.
That's basically what those color scheme, palette generators do.
Should be possible.
It's the interface part that is difficult I think.
