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.
