When i looked at Wade's proposal, my first instinct was to have white to black
as the first row of the palette and then have the colored ones going columns
wise, as that is similar to how our current palette is now and white to black
is not a color blend which could fit next to the other color range column wise.

You would likely have to ask a dev familiar with the code to know this, but i
dont think the drop down width changing multiple times when you go from palette
to palette would be a good thing. What i think would work is that size of the
palette color boxes change depending on the the number of columns per row. If
we can set width of the palette color area to 230 pixels, we can accommodate 16
columns at 10x10, 12 columns at 14x14, and 10 columns 18x18 (these numbers are
excluding the 2 pixels padding on the left and right of each color palette
box).

Yes it should primarily accommodate whatever is our default color palette
optimally, as other palettes are secondary, though i believe that a 12 column
palette will cover all the bases we need and we will have 3 other 12 column
palettes also in the palette list (web.soc, cymk.soc, and the current
standard.soc).
