Makoto Shinkai+
The works of Makoto Shinkai - including 5 centimeters per second, the garden of words and children who chase lost voices. Shinka's works are often less saturated than similar anime, preferring to use more realistic, photographic colors in general. He reserves more contrasting palettes for the emotional climax and the many set-pieces of sky, stars and ocean that appear in his films.
Sunset colors+
Juxtaposition of warm and cold colors combined with brilliant violets and greens. Photos taken at sunset have a strong complementary theme.
Only God Forgives+
This film is filled with scenes lit by neon, and those neon colors reflect heavily in the generated palettes.
The Fall+
This 2006 film uses saturated color schemes to great effect. The bright, almost surreal colors of the story-scape juxtaposes perfectly with the dark, somber colors of the hospital.

Usage tips
If no colors are locked Colormind will generate color palettes at random.
If you have a specific starting color in mind, pick that color and lock it. The location of the color does matter, so experiment with different placements.
If you have two complementary colors, try placing them at the opposite ends of the palette. Colormind will tend to generate nice intermediate values.
If you want more variety try placing contrasting colors closer together, colormind will then tend to create triadic and other more complex color schemes.
