Kuler is Cool
A have recently played around with Adobe's new online color tool "Kuler", and I am impressed. I think this is going to be my new tool of choice when it comes to mixing colors.
BTW: The black interface looks cool, but is acutally not very usable. Black makes colors look more powerful and saturated. Instead they should have used a more neutral color (18% gray)

BTW: One thing I am really mising with this is the ability to adjust the dominance of each color (this applies to all color mixing tools).
e.g. in Kuler you can create this:
But it is very unlikely that all the colors has the same level of dominance. In my design I would probably do something like this:
Another example:

Real world use
There is so much difference in how this looks - eventhough they all use exactly the same color values.

I totally agree on the neutral grey front. It would be functionally better, but perhaps not aesthetically from Adobes POV.

That is certainly useful! Has to be the best one I've seen. Thanks for pointing this out to us, will make things that little bit easier when picking a good colour scheme.
