For me its my surroundings, and how I generally feel, sometimes ill use colors I made as I was creating a piece for a palette aswell.
tomfoolery, that's how "Oops! All Yellow" and "Bird Poop Palette" were conceived

Instead of focusing on palette inspiration, one should aim for art inspiration. What do I want to create? What do I want to achieve with my creation?
This being said, there are times when an artwork or photo has interesting colors you might want to explore further. This is a great way to look at how colors interact and how to implement them.
Essentially it's the artwork that dictates the palette's quality.
Most of mine are based of of real-world limitations, but with alternative colors. My color counts range from 3 to 20. Common counts would be 6, 8, 12, 15-16.
