Just found this - an online tool:

It's a little clunky in the interface, but easy enough to figure out. As long as they don't need more than 12 colors, they should be fine.

If it ends up disappearing in the future, I would have them grab Gimp and use that to fill the states on the other map.

Thanks again. Unfortunately, Paint does not fill well.

On a computer you would still need a transparency or each time you paste something it's going to cover the states next to it, considering our states aren't rectangular.

But if cut and paste is an option, then there is even a much simpler option. How about a map like this:

Bucket fill tool on Photoshop fills each state fine.
