This is a feature request. Is it possible to write functions that also choose how the color palette is applied?

[gautam1168]

Using the functions I can create a color palette. The next hurdle is to actually apply that color palette to the elements on my page. As far as I understand this is still to be done by humans who know what they are doing. For example, I could make everything in the sidebar pop and make the button in the navbar neutral if I wanted to, using the same color palette. So is there a set of principles that you follow when you decide which elements grab attention that are simple enough to be coded?

In other words I am asking if it is possible to switch the entire theme of a website using a function that only takes a color palette as an input. Taking this to the extreme I would start off with a website that has a color palette of a single color (much like you start in the color-theory page with just red) and then give the function a color palette with say five colors and expect the output to be a page with the color palette applied to the elements without specifying which color goes on which element. The only way I can think of to do this is to somehow write a function that can decide an element's css by analyzing its relationship with other dom elements in its tree and a color palette.

To write such a function I would need to be able to code what goes on in the head of a designer when she is given a dom element and a color palette and she chooses a color from the palette. Is this possible? Can you write down the rules that you use to perform the above task?
