<cd:description>Colors can be grouped in palettes. The colors in such a palette can have colorful names, but best is to use names that specify their use, like ''important'' or ''danger''. ConTeXt has some palettes predefined and <code>\showpalet</code> is used to graphically display colors being used in a particular palette.
