My cssexpand program does this too... and I actually find it 
isn't as useful in practice than you'd think anyway, since 
designers tend to just pick out their color palettes and don't 
like it when your code uses a whole bunch of variations on their 
choices.

Their palettes tend to be like ten colors (including shades of 
grey) and they don't like you going outside that in my 
experience. At that point, you might as well just write them (you 
can organize a css file to put them all basically in one place) 
or use a simple variable replacement system instead of all the 
color functions.
