The Palette System of non-binary gender presentation is a way to describe the way non-binary people present without having to use the binary language like "masculine" or "woman-aligned". It is similar to the lesbian terms "butch" and "femme".
The system was designed to be used along side the galactian alignment system, but it can be used by any non-binary person.
A non-binary person's presentation has no relation to their actual gender.
The palette system is named such because all of the names of alignments are derived from the names of colors.
