Palette (computing)
In computer graphics, a palette is either a given, finite set of colors for the management of digital images (that is, a color palette), or a small on-screen graphical element for choosing from a limited set of choices, not necessarily colors (such as a tools palette).
Depending on the context (an engineer's technical specification, an advertisement, a programmers' guide, an image file specification, a user's manual, etc.) the term palette and related terms such as Web palette and RGB palette, for example, can have somewhat different meanings.

They are sick of the palette and fiddle-bow,
Of poets that are always gay,”
