1. A method comprising:
- maintaining, by at least one computing device, data representative of a color scheme including a plurality of colors;
shifting, by at least one computing device, a parameter for each of said colors by a same offset to generate another color scheme; and
associating, by at least one computing device, said another color scheme with a graphical user interface;
wherein said parameter comprises a hue parameter and said same offset includes an angular offset, said shifting including shifting said hue parameter for each of said colors by said angular offset in a cylindrical color space model to generate said another color scheme.

Abstract
In certain exemplary embodiments, data representative of a color scheme including a plurality of colors is maintained, a parameter for each of the colors is shifted by a same offset to generate another color scheme, and the other color scheme is associated with a graphical user interface. In certain embodiments, the shifting preserves at least one of a hue relationship and a contrast relationship between the colors in the color scheme. In certain embodiments, at least one user interface tool configured to facilitate a user selection of one of the colors included in the color scheme and a change to be applied to the color, and the same offset is determined based on the user selection.
