Implementation of Color Harmonies

Color Harmonies can help improving the artwork very essentially. Even Blenderguru made a very good statement for it. youtu.be/Qj1FK8n7WgY A very good place to play around is also color.adobe.com (sorry that it's an Adobe site :-) or this site paletton.com I think you get the idea.

My proposal is to enhance the color wheel with the most important harmonie rules.

It starts with one color – no harmonie is active – and uni-color is active. So nothing new, but if you activate for example Triad, the marker in the color-wheel get two new neighbours each 120° away.

If you then click the generate button all colors will be added and named automaticly in the color field. So you have with one click a nice color family and no wasting time saving all of them separately.

I cannot code but as every harmony has it's clear rule, imho for a good developer it should not be to hard to implement it. :-)

Sorry for this messed up picture but i could not handle uploading two separate pictures.

Yes, would be convenient. Meanwhile you could switch to HSV-mode, click twice on the value in order to add "+0.333" or "+0.666" for a triad and "+0.5" or "-0.5" for complementary colours. Blender will do the fancy math for you.
