With this online tool you can easily create custom color schemes of any phpBB 2 style, phpBB 3 style, or web design. Script is in alpha stage, so only few designs are available and you can't upload custom designs.
URL: http://beta.colorizeit.com/index.php

By moving few sliders you can change color scheme of whole style. Then click "Download" button and you will get style in your color scheme. No more searching for style that maches your color scheme - you can adjust color scheme of any style without any html/css/php knowledge and without editing anything yourself. :D

When script will be complete users will be able to colorize their own styles or styles shared by any designer. URL above is just a parser test. Script should be ready sometime in April or May.

Notes:
- There might be some bugs in script. If you'll notice one please post in this thread.
- Rendering is quite slow right now because script is hosted on overloaded server, I'll move it to dedicated server later.
- Script requires javascript enabled browser. It was mostly tested with Opera, but it should work fine with Firefox, IE and Safari.

Examples (phpBB 2):
- subSilver - dark blue (http://beta.colorizeit.com/index.php?style=subSilver&color=1,b0200,h023,s0-36,d00,t02,v01,b129,h10,s10,d10,t12,v11,b2-1,h20,s20,d20,t20,v20,b3-1,h30,s30,d30,t30,v30)

Wow, very impressive.

Can I ask if you are using PHP + GD to process images?

Thanks :D

Only to read/write png and jpg images.

Another great idea. Congrats CA, should be very popular.

Is it possible to change the white background in prosilver using this?

CyberAlien

No, because that requires saturation change. I didn't put saturation in editor because almost all designs cannot handle saturation change, so if saturation would have been editable it would scew up whole style.

I see. No problem, have to do it the old fashion way. :)

Actually, just thinking about this...

If you can't have it so the saturation is adjustable, would it be a good idea to create a dark style as a default for those that want to colourize a dark theme?

For example, you first choose if you want the normal light style or a dark one. Then you choose which colors you want to "colorize"?

Just a suggestion. I'm not sure how it works so it might not be an option.

Yep, that can be done.
