Colorpicker for Dynamic Theme Colors - Has it been done?
I'm working on a client's magazine website that would like to change its theme colors on a monthly basis to match the color scheme found in the print edition.
What I need is to create some type of form that uses Colorpicker (or any other visual swatch selecting program) to change individual elements' colors (links, background, divs and soforth) and the client MUST be able to control it without ANY knowledge of CSS.
At the moment, I am testing "Theme Hues" as a simpler alternative to Color.module, because it allows you to enter in a number of CSS selectors and their properties in a webform and it passes them into the header to override the theme's CSS. The client can then select a generic palette of hues from a list which I plan on separating by page element, but I want them to have more control than that as well as refrain from choosing out of a list of items.
Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I know Drupal's been around quite a while.
Basic Question
Are you discounting the color picker in - for example - the settings for the Garland theme? If you enable Garland and go to admin/build/themes/settings/garland you'll see a basic color interface where you can change the site header color. Presumably this could be translated into something for your own theme, borrowing perhaps directly from Garland.

The Winner: Theme Hues
Theme Hues has turned out to be the simplest and most flexible solution for me, and my clients just point and click. It is compatible with Colorpicker, if you scan the README file.
