Build a theme generator/picker that simplifies the process

#### What is the current behavior?
Custom theming angular material is cumbersome.

#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
Make it easier to modify theme based on more traditional number color palettes. Designers will often provide 3-6 colors that should encompass most of the application/website, while the material pallets have over a dozen color hues per palette, for a total of well over 50 colors that the app can use. This isn't practical to maintain unless one REALLY cares about each shade. I understand the Ng Material team is just using the official Material colors but in my opinion there is a balance to be struck.

Maybe I'm missing something from the docs but I really would prefer not to do:
$candy-app-primary: mat-palette($mat-indigo); // this palette has over dozen colors to maintain

and instead do
$candy-app-primary: mat-palette(#999); // where 999 is my primary color

And have the material theme generate the variants in some way OR do it like Bootstrap and use scss lightens/darkens mixins where appropriate.

Suggestion:
Incorporate a palette generator of some kind, perhaps using similar logic as used by the material tool.

Überprüfe die aktuelle Dokumentation zum Theming von Angular Material und die im Issue beschriebene Verwendung von mat-palette, und vergleiche anschließend den vorgeschlagenen Workflow mit dem verknüpften Tool für das Material color-system. Definiere, wie ein Picker oder Generator eine kleine Menge an Farben akzeptieren und daraus nutzbare Theme-Varianten erzeugen würde; die Arbeit ist abgeschlossen, wenn dieser Workflow spezifiziert und durch geeignete Dokumentation unterstützt wird.
