/ˈpælət//ˈpælət/

The word "palette" has its roots in the Old French "pallette," which referred to a flat board or plate used to carry food or objects. This term was derived from the Latin "palletta," meaning "paddle" or "flat implement." In the 16th century, artists began using the term to describe the flat surface used to mix and hold pigments, paints, and colors. Over time, the word "palette" became associated with the range of colors and hues used by artists to create their work. Today, the term "palette" is often used metaphorically to describe a range of options or possibilities, as well as to refer to the actual surface used by artists to create and select colors.
