Programming a simple color scheme generator

c# colors controls generator color-theory

we are developing a website cms in C# and want to integrate / develop a small and simple color scheme generator as like as colorschemedesigner.com (of course simplier) to automatically suggest harmonizing template colors (for body background, text, heading etc.).

There are 6 methods for color creation on that website. We would like to reprogram the logic of the "accented analogic" algorithm.

Does anyone know how to easily realize this, or where we could find more information about this topic. How to programatically find a set of harmonizing colors for a given base?

Or are there already some third-party controls out there that could do the job? E.g. an advanced advanced advanced color picker or some thing.
