The Best Online Color Schemer

There's tons of sites out there that offer color scheming tools, but most of them are commercial tools that cost $35 or more and are often more than the average designer really needs in a color scheme generator, especially for web graphics. Here's a link to the best free online color schemer I've found to date...

It also comes in Spanish and Czech versions.

Not only is this little tool useful as hell, but it's also an excellent example of Javascript programming. In fact, I thought it was a Flash movie at first because I just couldn't imagine programming something like this in Javascript. Javascript just keeps getting better and better in terms of delivering rich interactivity to web browsers. I guess that's why Google is standardizing a platform based on Javascript and XML called AJAX (thanks to weasel for pointing me to the article). Looks like it's time to get out Ye Olde Javascript Reference and bone up on some client-side scripting.
