PSP can do that. Go to Colors > Count Colors Used.

a help file with alot of information about tileset creation.
There are already plenty of resources on tileset creation if someone is dedicated enough to look for a good, detailed one. Though I suppose if it were built into a program it would be nice, but that is rather wishful thinking.

For it to have a feature where it automatically colours for example, every other pixel a certain colour, perhaps many people find any use in this, but I find it quite useful even though it can be done manually
PSP can do this as well, if you know your way around. For example, you could create a new image whilst making your tileset that was 2 x 2 pixels, then the top right and top bottom pixels a certain color after zooming in. Then promote the background into a layer, grab the eraser tool and erase the other two tiles. Then you could go back to your tileset, choose the Fill tool, set it to fill as a pattern, go to the pattern tab and select the image you just made, then fill in the area you want to color every other pixel as. That is one way, among others.

Pallettes that come with it with working texured backgrounds.
Why not just make it yourself?
