We agree I think. Your reference sites show a couple of different approaches
no comment - just color submission?
Well styled is probably too complex in the interface for joe average, who just wants a set of colors.
colorschemer is just about right. Now add to this an interface which lets you assign colors to different elements of your theme, as background colors etc. It can initially be done by lists, later by drag and drop.
I think this interface also lends itself to being implemented in a simpler way at first and then developed further without drowning itself in complex scripts just to run the interface.
Very nice and powerful interface. Maybe also too complex, and maybe over the top when it comes to needed code, javascript, graphics etc.
