paleta

A board on which an artist mixes colors; often there is a thumbhole for ease of holding. More generally palette refers to the range of colors or hues a painter has used in a painting or group of paintings. A painter using few hues is said to have a limited palate; a cold palette would mean a predominance of blues, a warm palette means a preponderance of reds.
