You have two tab folders in the Color Palette dialog. One to
select the palette
you want to use and one to interact with the palette that you selected.

Within the select tab, you will see small thumbnails of all available
palettes. There is also information about the number of
colors in the palettes and their names. You can
choose a palette for direct
usage by simply clicking on it and shifting to the Palette
tab. You can edit the palette you selected by clicking on
the edit button which will bring
up the Color
Palette Editor
dialog. Note that you can also edit a palette in the
Palette tab folder,
but the Color Palette Editor gives more options.

Palette tab:
-
Within the palette tab, you interact with your palette. The primary
usage of the dialog is, naturally, to choose colors from the
palette. (It is very cumbersome to use the color selector to
choose colors when
you work with a project. The best way to work is to have a
color palette).
You can, however, also use this window to edit the
palette. Right click (and hold) on a color
cell and a menu will appear. Within the menu you can edit
the color in the
cell, delete the cell, or create a brand new cell which will
be added in the
bottom row of your palette. The name which appears when you
either right or left click on a color cell can also be
changed. All changes that you make in the
palette will be autosaved and available immediately.
The zoom buttons enable you to zoom in and out in the palette.
