[[Palette]]s provide the fundamental building blocks (code elements) for [[VI|VIs]] in LabVIEW.
<gallery mode="traditional" perrow="3" caption="Controls Palette Views">
 
LabVIEW has two types of palettes:
 
* The [[Controls Palette]] provides controls and indicators for the [[Front Panel]].
* The [[Functions Palette]] provides VIs, functions and constants for the [[Block Diagram]].
 
Palettes can be accessed in two ways:
 
* By right-clicking on the Block Diagram or Front Panel.
* By selecting '''View >> Controls Palette''' on the Front Panel or '''View >> Functions Palette''' on the Block Diagram.
 
Elements from the Palettes can be dropped anywhere on the Front Panel or Block Diagram.
 
== Customize Palette ==
To see display and visibility options of either the Controls or Functions Palettes, first pin the palette by clicking the Pin button in the top-left of the Palette Window.
