Color matching/picking tool for design and website

Using the tool to help you pick the right colors matching.

This is not a new feature; Illustrator has it since CS3. It helps people that don't have a eye to decide what colors to choose in order to look good together. It was based on safe harmony color matching, give you suggestion color first and you tune it with color saturation to intensify or soft it. If you go for very bold contrast color, then you must hand pick by yourself.
