Default Colour wheel sites/software

I'm getting stuck into colour theory again due to reading The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, a very good book by the way, and I have been looking about for good colour picking software. I have found a few different ones that have the features I'm after, Complimentary, Triadic, Split Complimentary, etc, but I was wondering if anyone else has found a particularly good one?

colormatch.dk (my favourite so far)
wellstyled.com
geckotribe.com

I love color pickers, or scheme generators, whichever you prefer

How about Adobe's Kuler or the brilliant color schemer ( nice and simple - I use it all the time for quick hex values).

I quite like some of the colors that generates at random - they'd be a good base for some of the other generators.

At the end of the colour chapter there is a
nice link

It's not a colour picker but it tests if there is enouch contrast between two colours for text to be adequately visible. Quite handy especially when considering colour blind people.

By far, Adobe is my favorite color picker.
