Swatch Palette:
Inkscape doesn't currently have a swatch/colour palette.
As an intermediate measure you can create or open a swatch palette in another application (eg in GIMP). Then take a screenshot of the pallette (eg. GIMP has an acquire command in the file menu to do this) and save it as a .bmp file.
Import the bmp file into your current inkscape file, you can then use the inkscape colour picker to select colours from the palette bitmap! Then just delete the bmp from your file when you have finished.
(or you could keep a collection of coloured svg boxes, stored in a separate file)
