Have you seen the Chameleon script for AE at AEscripts in conjunction with
Adobe Kuler? I find that is a great way to manage color palettes between
apps and large amounts of client palettes through the Adobe Kuler website.
I also love the fact the mobile app Kuler can pull swatches from photos.
With Chameleon, you link the color swatch to a solid's or text's color with
built-in expressions, and then you can swap through different color schemes
on the fly. Worth a look.
