Every page on www.colorcombos.com (e.g. this one) has a link saying 'copy combo'. This script exists to make my life easier by extracting color combos directly from that link. Just copy+paste links of nice combos to the colorcombos.txt file and run the script. This is particularly useful for my fork of the word_cloud module, which enables users to specify their own color palettes.

While this code is useful, the wordcloud does not have a parameter to mention the "color palettes" or custom colors
