palette : QPalette 
This property holds the widget's palette. 
As long as no special palette has been set, this is either a special palette for the widget class, the parent's palette or (if this widget is a top level widget), the default application palette. 
Note: The palette's background color will only have an effect on the appearance of the widget if the autoFillBackground property is set. 
Warning: Do not use this function in conjunction with Qt Style Sheets. When using style sheets, the palette of a widget can be customized using the "color", "background-color", "selection-color", "selection-background-color" and "alternate-background-color". 
Access functions: 
const QPalette & palette () const 
void setPalette ( const QPalette & )
