Talking about usability experience:

Is it really necessary that each palette entry is a rather _small_ rounded 
box?

Even worse: between the small rounded boxes (which look awkward and make the 
color harder to see) the Hermann-Grid-Illusion looks distracting:

Not really improving the experience of choosing colors ...

So: could you 

- remove the rounded edges
- make the color boxes larger at expense of the white spacing and remove the 
white spacing (or make it a white 1 pixel separator line instead).
