Now, you can make a very good case for *not* calling it a palette. "Palette" is also used to refer to how many colors are associated with an image (i.e., a gif can have up to a 256-color palette) and this term is not associated with UI elements at all.

In fact it is, as many people call all of our dialogs "palettes" (probably following AI or some other program's terminology). Which is another reason not to use this term (even with "color" prepended) for swatches.
