The Symbol Palettes are ready to use.
-=-=-
I opted against doing System palettes in the symbol editor, since setting a "UsePalette" before the Symbol command already ensures the symbols are drawn in that palettes.
Instead, the options are Normal, Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, Reds, Greens and Blues.
(More can be added later, so feel free to suggest some)
The option to change a symbol's palette is in the Colour Picker, where it seemed to be most appropriate.
Clicking it will instantly change the current symbol, and you can see the result in the updated symbol selector along the bottom of the screen.
Note that you can't for example pick and choose colours from the Reds palette alongside those from the Shadows. It's one palette only.
But, like I said, you can also then combine the Symbol palettes with the System palettes, and end up with all manner of different possibilities.
To illustrate the possible results, here's a nice new example.
