Author Color Picker Helper - Complements, Tertiaries?

This isn't an After Effects-specific question but since I'm having this head scratcher in AE, I figured here goes...

Can anyone suggest either a standalone app or AE Plugin that helps with picking color?

The other day I had to work with a color but needed some tertiary colors to go with it. Yeah, sure - I can muddle my way through and come up with colors myself but I was looking for something fast.

Here's an example. Have you ever been to the Behr Paint web site? (www.behr.com) They have a neat paint-picker app that comes close to what I'm looking for. Pick a main color, it suggests secondary and even trim colors... Trouble is, it's not entry-accura
te and it's a little tedious. But it's worth a look.

Thanks everyone.

Digital Anarchy's Color Theory plugin is just what you're looking for.

Oh, that is fantastic. Just what the Doctor ordered ... and the Pro works within AE - even BETTER!

Thank you so much -

On the topic of color schemes, I feel compelled to mention this:

Oh, that's great too ... I see no mention of this on Adobe's main page - I would have totally missed it.

Thanks!
