Is there some program that would do it quickly for many colors entered in RGB in hexadecimal?
It's not just the saturation. It's the contrast of colors that don't go together, backgrounds that make it difficult to read the font, and so on. You don't need a program to edit your colors. You need a completely fresh start, from ground zero.
The surprising thing is that you've spent time designing a website, but haven't gone to any website that actually exists to find one that is appealing. Look at this site: simple, functional, generally pretty elegant. Colors are used to draw attention here and there, to make titles stand out and so on.

As for the other colors and fonts, I've chosen them randomly (which was a pretty bad decision).
Besides, the whole point of CSS and website builders is to try to make a website that's unlike any other, right?
The point of website design is to arrange information on the screen in a way that will be as functional as possible: things are easy to find, there's a nice simple design that's easy to follow, there's just enough visual bling to add a little interest. Having unwarranted sounds or high-contrast-color animations is very distracting and does absolutely zero to present your information.
