A palette is a set of colours, which in GIMP can be given a name and
saved and edited and so on.
When an image is in indexed mode, it has an associated colourmap that
says, for example, a pixel with value "6" is really rgb(0.1, 0.9, 0.2).
A palette, if it's the right size (the right number of entries) can be
used as a colourmap, but the two concepts are slightly different.
There's a dock (a dialogue box) that lists lots of palettes and users
can add to them, edie them, delete them. So if you're doing an anime
style illustration in "flat" mode, you might have a dozen colours
you're switching between, and you can keep them all in a palette.
