Paint Palettes
Bring Palettes to the different paint modes
UI location * 3D View -> Tool Shelf -> Color Palette or Weight Palette -> depending on :
    • Vertex Paint mode
    • Texture Paint mode
    • Weight Paint mode
  • UV/Image Editor -> Properties Panel -> Color Palette -> while in :
    • Image Painting mode
Usage Go into any paint mode (Image Painting, Texture Paint, Vertex Paint, Weight Paint) and look for the Palette panel corresponding to that mode.
  • Color Palette: This addon can read and write Gimp's palette format. The first thing to do is to determine your "Palettes Folder". This can be the Gimp's palette folder, or it can be a specific one for your project. Select the palette with the drop down menu. You can save your palette with the (+) button. Add as many colors as you need with the (+) button at the left of the index mover. Sample the current brush color with the small color wheel button. Select a palette color with the small button under the colors.
  • Weight Palette: Select the weight value from the eleven values. These can be adjusted with the "Weight" slider.
