When I create scenes I pick the colors using the html-file created from
the two include files I mentioned. I did this with the html created with
AXEL's script. Now I can pick the colors from the sorted tables which
improves the process for me (and hopefully for others too).
I found out that limiting to a set of colors (in my case kolors.inc by
Ken) isn't hurting much. This speeds up development. If the color I had
chosen is wrong by a certain tone I look for a slightly differnt one.
The tables are of help here.

Another use would be to create to huge color database which could be
managed by this script somehow. I still hope it's useful. :-)

The color of the fonts have been chosen according to the mean value of
RGB. For yellow and green this could lead to problems but on my monitor
they are still readable ...

Thanks for the comments.

All the Best,

Marc
