But what i am trying to make a color picker to choose the colors from the palette. How can i integrate the color palattes in my website, and please give me some inputs.

Here is a tutorial on using .php as .css extension.

From that you could store the color information into a database based on name of the user. Then for each of the pages you could have a dropdown box either for color scheme or for individual colors for each item if you wanted.

 

So overall you'd have a full template loaded into the database for each user, then if they change any of the values using something like a submit form you'd update that preference in the database.

 

Hope this helps you get started.

Sounds like you're looking for a JavaScript plugin. Here's a good one: http://acko.net/dev/farbtastic
