Generate Your own Material Design Color Scheme
There is no doubt, that one of the most important design elements are #color.
The fundamental problem is that some people are able to create attractive designs and UI, but the wrong color choice might be real disaster. It might be really frustrating process to decide on a color palette that perfectly suits your requirements as there are infinite number of combinations.
Be sure to dedicate plenty of care and attention to color management, because the color scheme you choose will affect the entire design. Here are few material design #color generators , which will help you to create brilliant color combinations and schemes.
Materialui.co
Material UI is an amazing tool for graphic and web designers as it comprises primary and accent colors that can be used for illustration or to develop your brand colors.The color palette starts with primary colors and fills in the spectrum to create a complete and usable palette for #Android, Web, and iOS. Google suggests using the 500 colors as the primary colors in your app and the other colors as accents colors.
MaterialPalette.com
MaterialPallete.com is one of my favourites material design #color generators. Very well designed user interface creates a slick experience. Colors of your choice will be combined into a small design concept and you can edit your selection by choosing different color options.
If you like your selection, MaterialPallete tool allows you to download it and implement into your own material design. This tool might be very helpful building apps, web applications or finding the right color for material design elements such as buttons or icons.

Hey There!
I know it’s not exactly like the 4 tools you’ve mentioned, but I’ve created an additional (and somewhat different) material design color generation tool and I was hoping you might consider adding it (or approving this comment):

This tool allows you to quickly export a theme to AngularJS Material Design, which is more of a web focus than mobile app. However, this tool provides far more control in picking the palette colors than the others and has direct integration with ColourLovers, for instant theme choices. I plan to allow for export to additional frontend frameworks soon, such as Materialize, CSS, and Polymer. I also plan to allow for previews in all of the previously mentioned frameworks from within the tool.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thank you!

Hi, I found this tool that actually creates a palette from a colour that you select. It’s pretty good:
