This colour palette generator is based off the idea/suggestion by Seltar. Its a bit crude but the effect should be apparent - it generates a random palette with smooth colour bands.

I've set it to generate 256 colours in 4 colour bands. Each band has a random start and end colour. The method chosen to pick these two colours is the most important factor determining the look of the palette. I picked wide bands, 32 colours in each so that you can see the transition between the colours clearly.

Once the start and target colours are picked, the fade(int, int, float) method is used to generate the transitional states.

Clicking the mouse generates a new palette.
