I’m sorry but as a designer i don’t need to be told what colours to use together. I am creative enough and know a thing or two about colours and design.
So I would not class these tools as designers tools but rather for people with no design knowledge who want to pretend to be a designer, or someone working on their own site who has not done any design before.

This list of resources is great, but what I would really love to get is a book of color schemes and palettes.
I cant seem to find any (good ones) online. Does anyone have any suggestions?
