To change an existing palette simply go into the src directory, open the file corresponding to the palette you want to change and edit the appropriate hex code.

To add a new palette create a sensibly named file in the src directory following the example of one of the existing palettes. Each palette exports either a single array eg sequential-multi or a single object eg categorical-uk-politics). The palette should then be added to the index.js file so it gets included in the build.

Update snapshot testing with npm run update-snapshot.

When you're happy with the palette create a pull request and that's it!
