Out of curiosity, how frequently have you seen complaints about the
default palette?
I may have seen one, in 10 or 11 years in Inkscape forums. It's part of the reason I wanted to comment to Martin's original message.
All best, brynn

Just for a comment from a humble and simple user, I like the default palette. Of course I'm not really an artist, and know little to nothing about color theory, or what makes good color or bad color. I really just like bright colors. But the default palette seems to provide a wide range of colors.
Quote from doctormo: "Unwelcoming - The colours, when viewed for the first time, do not create warmth and joy to the eyes."
Hhhmm, they actually do create warmth and joy to my eyes. I'd rather have them logically organized, than organized towards beauty. Although again, I'm completely untrained.
Although having said all that, and now speaking as someone who answers support questions (which include complaints sometimes too) day in and day out. It's very easy to change the palette and it's relatively easy to install new palettes. Plus, it's fairly easy to make a Swatches palette (Auto palette), if you want to make with RGB and don't want to create a palette and install it. If I saw complaints in a forum about the default palette, that's how I would answer them. (Plus I would suggest a feature request, if they wanted to make it "official".)

What if the user could organize the palette to suit themselves? Drag and drop? (although including some way to revert to default, in case chips got accidentally dragged and dropped)

To add a use case, users that create drawings for a laser cutter often need to set the color to RGB red (RGB 255,0,0) and sometimes also green, blue, yellow or purple. Similar looking colors don't work because postprocessing tools match the exact color.
It is also helpful to have the most extreme options contained in a palette (just as you expect full black and white there, and not just some soft gray).
But I agree that the color palette right of fuchsia is not very helpful and could be rearranged or changed.
