Creating color palettes is a vastly different endeavor than making a painting.

I agree with what you're saying - that's my take on paintings as well and shallow dismissals of them isn't my core point.

Furthermore, color palettes are a tool and paintings are works of art.

When someone says "Use this color palette", it is important to ask "What specific speciality are you offering?" and what thought process has gone into making palettes which no one here can put a compelling explanation together.

I expect more. I expect objective contrast analysis, some deep color theory...nothing of the sorts exist here. It is not akin to painting or whatever modern art arguments you want to apply here.
