Need a new color palette for your next design project? ColorRotate is a color palette generator with a heavy dose of eye candy and easy-to-use controls.

The default setup for ColorRotate is a 3D diamond shape, which you use to set the tint, hue, and the blending for your palette. If you prefer a more traditional appearance, you can switch it over to a series of sliders. You can create a completely new palette or browse through popular user-created palettes, or modify them. If you create an account, you can save your palettes, but even without an account you can export palettes in .ACT format, which allows for import into Adobe products.

Palettes can be created in a variety of color schemes including RGB, CMYK, and LAB. For another interesting way to generate a color palette, check out Color Palette Generator which extracts a color palette from an image.
