It is possible to do this through ZScripting. You could create switches of a desired size and whatever color you’d like, and clicking the switch would set the color to correspond. This is how I did it with the old Zketchpad plugin (now replaced by PaintStop).
After a quick test, a much easier way to do this would be to simply import your palette as a texture. You can then mouse over it in the Texture palette and press C to sample the color your pointer is over.
Or better yet, put it in the ZTextures folder in your ZBrush directory. You can now access it by clicking on Light Box and then the Textures link. This will give you a larger thumbnail from which to sample. You could even have a bunch of textures in there that are different parts of your color palette or even different palettes for different needs. All will be displayed at once in Light Box, so it doesn’t matter how you break them up.
