I frequently find myself testing out new colors for elements (finding that one doesn't work with the rest of the color scheme). Unfortunately, the process when using even firebug or google chrome is hit and miss (try lots of different colors by manually typing in the codes, find out that the color doesn't look good, look up another hex code, try the next color, etc etc).

Is there a better app or approach for this? I'm thinking something like the color pickers in photoshop and elsewhere where you can change the color using sliders to find a better one.

A trivial example of a color picker like what I'm looking for, just for clarity: www.colorpicker.com/ But it would be changing the element in the page, of course.

I've used tools like colorschemedesigner.com/ before, it has a light page/dark page presentation which might be useful to you.

The other option is to build a special stylesheet which loads last that will allow you to quickly change only the colour of the elements you want to.

Is this a single site you're working on or several?

The jQuery Theme Roller allows you to adjust the appearance and color of the jQuery UI controls, and can be used on your own page through their Firefox bookmarklet.

The significant catch would be that it mostly applies to jQuery UI controls, and you'd have to use their naming conventions in your own page styles for it to have any effect.

They do have several very good built-in themes, and you can customize them to suit your needs.

Check out ColorZilla, an extension of Firefox.
