A palette is the set of available colors. For a given application, the palette may be only a subset of all the colors that can be physically displayed. For example, many computer systems can display 16 million unique colors, but a given program would use only 256 of them at a time if the display is in 256-color mode. The computer system's palette, therefore, would consist of the 16 million colors, but the program's palette would contain only the 256-color subset.
A computer can display 16.7 million different colors, although most of them are fairly superfluous. Therefore, different palettes can usually be found in photo-editing software, for example web-colors.
