A plane palette consists of square planes arranged in a grid. The advantage with this type of palette is that we can see the entire material.

A conical palette looks similar to a painters palette. Since each face is a triangle we can only see one half of the material.

Palettes are convenient to share materials between projects. If the Mark As Asset option is enabled the palette is added to the asset browser, where it can be made available in other files. This option also make the materials unique and remove any .001 suffix.
