Color harmonies and Gimp

[Jo_y]

Hi,
is there a scm-script for gimp to calc color harmonies like
secondary,complimentary, double-split complimentary, square and
triadic colors?
the simplest output could be in hex-numbers, or best, as temporary
color-palette available into the color palettes tab.

I ask this, because Mypaint doesn't work well on my Mac neither with
macports/ Wine/ Virtual box on Ubuntu due to stability and/or strange
pen pressure issues.

Neither output in hex or as a palette but it does produce a chart. see:

Hi Richard,

thanks for your link. Although this system seems really unpractical;
please let me explain, why:
A digital painter, like me, needs to change colors ‚on the fly‘, and
to work with a reasonable speed; the speed stands for natural behavior
too.
A complete chart palette is too much of really utile.
I think that somebody familiar with scm-scripting could code it,
calculating output variables of the input color.

The idea would be to calculate color harmonies from input, getting a
output as color palette in the palettes tab,
refreshed every time with the last option set in the script. (like:
repeat last action)
the dropdown-menu choices could/should contain:
⁃ analogous (3 colors)
⁃ primary (3 colors)
⁃ secondary (3 colors)
⁃ tertiary (6 colors)
⁃ complimentary (1 color)
⁃ square (4 colors)
