Color schemes

Hi,

There are sites (like colorschemedesigner dot com) that help someone pick a coordinated color scheme for their site. I found a web API that will give you a set of hex values for all your colors, given certain paramaters. (One time, you manually pick some color-theory-based settings and preferences and it gives you a scheme ID; henceforth you give it a scheme ID and it gives you back, via HTTP, all the colors for that scheme.)

What's the quickest way to inject a whole coordinated set of hex colors into a site based on the Atahualpa theme? Is there any way to set it up (one-time effort) so that subsequent new schemes can be installed without having to manually edit a large number of places (CSS entries)?

EDIT:

More specifically, is there a repeatable/programmatic (or other quick) way to get the color values from an array like this:

Code:

Array (
    [col1] => primary,230-66-23,143-80-63,109-25-3,249-138-109,249-191-176
    [col2] => secondary-a,230-97-23,143-92-63,109-41-3,249-159-109,249-202-176
    [col3] => secondary-b,227-23-28,142-62-64,108-3-5,248-109-112,248-176-177
)

...into the corresponding CSS entries?
[NOTE: they will actually be standard hex color codes, not decimal R-G-B values as in the demo result above.]

EDIT: Further clarification: First choice would be a single place to just dump the array "as is", but of course probably no WP theme has that! Second choice, I guess, would be a list of all the color entries, all near each other, so that one could copy the hex values to a small block of CSS and have then override the corresponding CSS entries sprinkled around the site.

Do you have a list of all the CSS entries that constitute all the ingredients of the "color scheme?"

Thank you!

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the "general" forum. I should have posted this there instead. If I knew how to move it, I would.
