My palette is a glass plate, under which I have a 1/8" ABS sheet that is painted with the same color gesso I use to tone my canvasses (a brownish grey made from burnt umber acrylic paint mixed in white gesso). That works particularly well at the beginning of a painting, to know how the color I'm mixing will appear on the canvas. I try to make things as easy on myself as possible by avoiding mental adjustments between palette and canvas.
