OK, I've looked for about two hours now and can't find what I want (though I've found lots of stuff that doesn't do what I want.)

Years ago, Para Paints had a widget on their site that would have you choose one of about 32 colours, and would then give you a palette that matched it.

There's lots of pickers that let you choose your own colours, and there's lots that will generate a palette from a photo - I'm looking for one that will recommend palettes.

In particular, I want colours that would go in a library or smoking room - masculine colours - deep reds, tans, ochres and complemetary colours (grey-green or slate blue).

Ideally, there are interactive colour wheels where you can shift a cursor around the wheel and it dynamically adjusts all the colours on-the-fly.

Ugh, tough search...there's just too much stuff out there in that subject area!

Here's what I've done in the past, given my complete lack of talent in this area.

I chose a picture that I like - usually by Matisse. I don't look for content, just colors...and I steal the colors.

Here's one that's kind of smoking-room-ish.

Right. Been there. But I want it to suggest colours to me. If I provide a pic, I've already committed to a palette of my own design.

The online version is roughly what you want, the download one seems to be exactly right for you.

Yeah, I tried this one. It doesn't really care about interior design; it seems more universal - concentating on primary, saturated colours.
 
It's tough for me to get this kind of stuff right, too. I had to do it the old fashion way, and get a woman to pick the colors for me. :smile:

I hear ya. But last thing I want is my man cave to be done in colours picked by my wife...

(On the other hand, it has occurred to me that, to be a proper man cave, it should be done in colours picked by a man).

i.e. badly.
:biggrin:

Maybe I shouldn't be using a colour picker...
