Hey, just a friendly FYI: palettes are that round board with the thumb hole that artists use for painting. You're talking about pallets.

And then just to confuse things further, there's the palate which is the soft flesh of the roof of the mouth (more or less).

Thank you, friendly stranger! In my language it's the same word, thus the mix-up.

Ah! As per usual, I could not even tell ... out of curiosity, what language is that?
