The idea is to use this template when trying to select a colour template for a webpage or some other digital (and possibly print) project. It serves a similar purpose to the painters pallette in which he mixes colours to get his desired look.

Now where you get the colours is up to you. You can arbitrarily mix them, use something you've seen that you liked or sample the colours from images. I used it to sample colours from the

Once you have sampled all the colours you desire you can then find complimentary or contrasting colours using the bottom row. I simply moved the colours from the top row to the bottom and inverted them, but this is optional.

Once you have mixed colours to your liking, you can then use the sample tool in your other design programs (NVU, Inkscape, Dreamweaver, Flash, Director) to sample these colours from the image. I save my final template with my files on my computer and my server so I can readily access them at a later time. My finished pallette based on the logo is the pallette on the right.
If everyone still doesn't understand, well so be it, then I'll use it myself, because I found it quite useful.
