  You can use the Saturation value of the HSB color model for such purpose
(if I understand correctly your wish):


\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{multido}
\usepackage{pstcol}

\def\PstFillCircleA#1{%
\definecolor{MyColor}{hsb}{1,#1,1}%
\pspicture(-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)
  \pscircle[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=MyColor]{0.5}
\endpspicture}

\def\PstFillCircleB#1#2{%
\definecolor{MyColor}{hsb}{#1,#2,1}%
\pspicture(-0.5,-0.5)(0.5,0.5)
  \pscircle[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=MyColor]{0.5}
\endpspicture}

\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\multido{\nCount=1+-0.1}{11}{\PstFillCircleA{\nCount}}

\vspace{3cm}

\multido{\nCountA=1+-0.1}{11}{%
  \multido{\nCountB=1+-0.1}{11}{%
    \PstFillCircleB{\nCountA}{\nCountB}}\\}

\end{document}
