A color palette in a architectural construction or design allows the artist to choose a "theme" for their build. The color palette consists of a certain selection of blocks that will often appear on a build.
When creating a color palette, it's best to decide what blocks you mainly want to use for the build first. There are some things that require thinking, such as the contrast. Two similar colors are next to each other, which have differences when close to it, but when further away the difference is harder to tell. This can also apply to the texture itself.
It's also helpful to look at which blocks fit together in the color palette or when put next to each other and which do not. This means that some blocks could fit in the palette and some could appear out of place which is not recommended.
If you want to take your palette to the next level then you could consider using gradients. A gradient is simply when you go from one shade of a color to another shade of that same color. To create a gradient you must first select which color you want the wall or roof to be, then find three or four blocks that are the same color but different shades and arrange them from lightest to darkest, or darkest to lightest. And don’t be afraid to get creative with your block choices, if you need an orange color try using pumpkin, or if you need a green color you could use melon.
This example should show the difference a color palette can make.
The next image features the same structure, but with a different frame. The top image uses Dark Oak Planks instead of oak, and the bottom one uses Birch Planks.
In these images, the frame is clearly notable, since it contrasts with the walls.
