Why don’t my custom palettes persist?

I created a custom palette for a design I’m creating but when I quit and reopen The Gimp, it’s not in the list. This has happened twice in a row now. Do I need to do something special to make Gimp save my custom palette?

It’s not a huge deal because my design has only five colors in it. Still, it’s inconvenient to have to keep recreating it.

(I’m using Gimp 2.10.34 revision 1 on Mac OS Ventura.)

Thanks.

How do you create the palette and add it to Gimp's collection?

In the Palettes tab (Windows ➞ Dockable Dialogs ➞ Palettes), I click the “+”,

   

which brings up the Palette Editor:

   

I add the desired colors and give the palette a name. I verify that the new palette name is in the list on the Palettes tab:

   

I close the Palette Editor and verify that the new palette is still listed. I double-click on the palette’s name in the list on the Palettes tab to open it again in the Palette Editor, and I verify that it contains the colors that I added to it. I close it again. So far, so good, but after I quit Gimp and come back some time later, the new palette is gone.

Thanks again.

P.S., sorry if my screenshots are double-sized. It’s a side effect of taking screenshots on a retina display; they may or may not render at the correct size on your screen.
