     DESCRIPTION
          A palette is a color scheme used to color a CDE workspace
          and the CDE components.

          A palette file provides the set of eight background colors
          that make up a color palette.

          A variety of palettes are provided with the CDE.  As part of
          the default palette set there are several palettes designed
          specifically to work well on monochrome and gray scale
          displays.

          The Style Manager is the desktop graphical user interface
          tool which is used to add, delete, or modify a color
          palette.  The end user should never need to act on the
          palette file directly.

          All palette files have a .dp suffix.  The file contents are
          the eight colors of the palette, specified as RGB values in
          hexadecimal.

          The palette files provided with the system are located in
          the directory /usr/dt/palettes/C.

          User specific palette files are located in
          HOME/.dt/palettes.

          The Style Manager resource paletteDirectories can be used to
          specify additional directories where palettes are located.

          When a user creates a new palette, it is located in
          HOME/.dt/palettes.  System palettes that the user has
          modified are also located in this directory.  When a user
          deletes a palette, that palette is placed in the
          HOME/.dt/palettes directory with a ~ prefix.  If it was a
          user specified palette, the original file is removed.
          System palettes are never removed.  If the user has a ~ copy
          of a system palette, that palette will not appear in the
          list of available palettes in the Style Manager.
     RETURN VALUE
          None.
