This is not what you're looking for but it's very useful in HTML etc.

http://www.cs.niu.edu/~mcintire/490m_580m_downloads/Utilities/palette_with.gif - http://www.cs.niu.edu/~mcintire/490m_580m_downloads/Utilities/palette_with.gif (1700x1700)

E: after googling awhile (still not really what you're looking for)

This generates palettes from pictures (only 5-color palettes)
http://www.colorhunter.com/ - http://www.colorhunter.com/

you need to register tho.

that sounds nice and all, but if someone has no idea how colors work together, their color schemes will be a matter of luck hehe.  I used to just pick random colors and there would always be something off,  not that I always get it right now haha, but at least I studied up a bit.  Anywho.. practicing with preset 'good' palettes is a good idea to just experiment and see how colors relate and such, so I concur with whoever just said there should be a weekly challenge with these soon, that'd be cool :D
