I'd imagine most paint programs would allow you to draw grids and use that to lay a colour pattern on.

try http://www.gimp.org/

Not sure if you found anything yet, but I use a program I downloaded, you do have to pay for it, but any updates are free.

http://www.beadtool.net/ is where I found it xxx
