A paint palette mounting system comprising a docking portion (31) and a paint box (10), configurable to a paint palette. The system includes a first half (32) of a coupling feature at the docking portion for coupling with a second half (14) of the coupling feature located on the paint box/palette. The coupling feature is preferably comprised of complimentary stadium-shaped parts, with chamfered edges (37), that are separable by a twisting motion. The parts are held together by magnetic connections and/or a mechanical fixing element. The paint box/palette includes several overlapping lids (11, 18, 19) that unfold to provide paint mixing surfaces (17).
