paint pots

Color storage tins

Paint pots are containers holding paint, whether small jars in an artist's set or larger cans for house painting.

In geology, paint pots are hot springs or mud pools in volcanic areas where bubbling clay creates colorful, paint-like surfaces: Yellowstone's mud paint pots bubble with sulfurous gases.

The term also appears in software for color selection tools.
