Color themes and palettes are different things but both are useful.
A color theme redefines every face individually whereas a palette
reduces them to a list of predefined colors.

Actually, Emacs already has palette support on text-only terminals
with a small number of colors with the help of the function
`tty-color-approximate' that finds the closest color among the
known colors.
