I have found an interesting freeware tool that enables one to create a color palette from a photo.

Below, a fusionwear sv image submission by Matthew Ebisu is taken into this software and I selected five colors from the available palette range. You can see my selection of five colors in the bottom row. The color palette to the right is generated by Photocopa. I will be using this tool to define the color palettes of the digital textiles I am crating for the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. This is one more way to integrate publicly submitted images of Silicon Valley into the textile designs.
This has a very clean interface and the website colourlovers.com has many forums, links and tools relating to color palettes...a very useful resource for any designer.
