Makoto Shinkai+

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.
The Wind Rises+
All of Miyazaki's films have brilliant color design and The Wind Rises is no exception. Brilliant blues and greens dominate, juxtiposed with darker somber colors in its depiction of wartime Japan

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.
