paint palette
Artist's mixing surface
A paint palette is a flat surface, traditionally with a thumb hole, on which artists arrange and mix colors.
The classic shape is kidney-like or oval, though rectangular palettes are common.
By extension, paint palette refers to an artist's characteristic range of colors: She works with a muted earth-tone palette.
In software, a paint palette is a digital color selector.
