The ColorPalette is merely an auxiliary tool - that is, it doesn't have any significance in itself, but is only relevant insofar as its slices* are referenced from within the StyleSheet. For example, your StyleSheet might have an entry like this: body { background-color: [[ColorPalette::Background]]; } This fetches the Background slice's value (e.g. "#FFF") from the ColorPalette tiddler and inserts it in place. Alternatively, you could define the respective color directly, right there in the StyleSheet: body { background-color: #FFF; } With the ColorPalette users can change the look of their documents without having to dig into CSS. Some people (primarily programmers?) like the ColorPalette indirection to ensure consistency - although there are quite a few people who don't like the ColorPalette at all. In short: If you're adding custom styles or creating a new theme, you can choose whether you want to use the ColorPalette or prefer to define colors directly in the StyleSheet.
