Bug Description

Inkscape should have a very robust "color selector"
(not the general purpose type) that deals with color
theory and color related issues that novice and experts
alike could benefit from. Essentially a utility that
lets you choose a color and see matching,
complimentary, or harmonious colors (and other
important color theory related "issues" that
non-designers aren't always so aware of). We can't
forget color mixing either. ;)

A great example of what I am talking about is what the
program "Color Schemer" does. You can try a "basic"
version of it online at
http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html

A few example screenshots can be found at:

Another great feature for this to have would be to
quickly generate swatch libraries for you from directly
within that dialog.

Scislac: please try to make a more descriptive RFE title.
This one tells me almost nothing when I browse the list.

can anyone explain the theory behind these colour selectors?
that would be a good thing to include in the help files, if
it gets implemented
