I always have a problem combining colors in my games, and finding a palette that suits all the elements I want in it.
I have used this tools:
http://kuler.adobe.com/
http://colorschemedesigner.com/
But they have really limited palettes.
Anybody has some tips regarding this, they would be very much appreciated  Gentleman.

Define the problem first, you need a palette for WHAT?
Legibility? Mood? Statement? Identity?





And they definitely don't have limited palette, it's all about the use and balancing Hue, saturation and contrast. If you need more than their scheme you are doing it wrong, no offense Smiley

As a good reference, study Samurai Jack and Symbionic Titan for unusual and unusually awesome color palettes.

For example:
