I am not a designer, but I thought that that example is both awful and reflected my own experience with color scheme generators (“How do I make a design look good with these five colors?!”).
The sidebar is okay I think, but the yellow for the pane pane would be incredibly overwhelming scaled up to a full page. Also the blue text on yellow does weird things to my eyes.
Problem is that most generators just give you your two or three primaries. You’d need to turn those into the 50 to 900 range of shades that the author talks about.
