I have seen tutorials but now I can't find them. I just want to be able to match the look of a render to the background. I try eyeballing it on my own, but I am sure the computer could do better.

I'm not totally clear about what you want. Wouldn't GIMP's color :colpick picker be what you need?

Even if gimp's color picker doesn't work accurately there are hundreds of others although I've never had gimp's to not be accurate.

what I am looking to do is to make the coloring in a render match better with the coloring in the new background picture...especially the skin tones.

If you post an example file of your render and your background, I will provide a mini-tutorial on how this might be done.

If that is the case, I don't think my automated approach would be very fruitful; the disparity is too great.

Perhaps one of the following tutorials by patdavid would be more suitable:
