Ultimately, it's not that great

Pros
The interface is intuitive. Although some features have been stripped from the earlier version (presumably so they can be pushed to the more expensive 'pro' version) it's easy to choose colors, if you like your colors close to each other.
Cons
This is not a tool for you if you do design and understand something about color. What GenoPal does is pick analogous colors, both in terms of hue and in terms of lightness and saturation. Color schemes will look flat, and even with the levers full out, the program returns a narrow range of hues. There's no control over saturation except "on" or "off" -- and, as I said, off is fine only if you like all your colors subdued all of the time. GenoPal is no match for a tool like Adobe's kuler. If you need an automated color chooser because you don't understand how colors work together, then fine. Otherwise steer clear of GenoPal.
