Etymology: < French palette painter's palette (1621), range of colours used by a painter (1733), disc-like structure in molluscs (Cuvier 1817, in the passage translated in quot. 1834 at sense 3), racket-tailed parrot (1831 or earlier, from the resemblance between the bird's tail feathers and a painter's palette and brushes), specific and transferred uses of palette flat-bladed instrument or tool (see pallet n.³).The same word was earlier borrowed into English from Middle French as pallet n.³, which overlaps considerably in forms and has the same pronunciation. Sense 2 is apparently not attested in French. With sense 4 compare French †palétation the action of massaging with a palette (1848 or earlier).

a. A thin flat board or tablet on which an artist lays and mixes colours. Also figurative.Typically oval in shape and having a thumb hole so that it can be carried in one hand while painting with the other.
