Unpalatable

Prince Charles in Aotearoa

The helpful folks at CNN excitedly shared details of the newly unveiled official emblem for the coronation of King Charles III. As a creative commons version is unavailable, it cannot be shown here. Reflecting the King's passionately held environmental concerns, it consists of a rose for England, a shamrock for Northern Ireland, a thistle for Scotland, and a daffodil for Wales. Its colours are in red, white, and blue, in keeping with the Union Flag. 

This report describes the colour scheme's emblem as its colour "palate." Palette is the correct word. Palate is the roof of the mouth, and palette is a range of colours.
